young coconuts

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info! Now I know what to look for. Didn't realize young coconuts

were a totally different animal, so to speak. Just thought they were harvested

in a less mature state-silly me! And, no, I'm not blonde. ~Tess

to open young coconuts, and the first pic on the page is how they look when I

buy them in the store; a lot of the regular stores have started carrying these,

and I can also order them by the case from my health food store.

The water is very light and just slightly sweet, and the flesh is almost like a

custard. I usually make smoothies with the water and flesh as a base, adding

bananas, mangos, whatever.

 

Peace,

Valerie

Yes, that is why I just use young coconuts; I tried breaking into a mature

coconut, and nearly hurt myself!

Also, I think the coconut is kinda hard. Glad to help out any

inquiring newbies now that I'm a seasoned veteran of the raw food

lifestyle.
