|
Find out what the exciting benefits of coconut are, as well as what you
need to know about using coconut oil to lose weight, from our popular
e-book, Coconut Oil Diet Secrets.
This was originally published and sold as a popular PDF download ebook,
but we decided that the information in it was too important to sell to
a select (or lucky) few who found it and bought it. So, for a limited
time, we are offering this ebook FREE, supported only by our
advertising sponsors.

Chapter 9 - Guide to Buying Fresh Coconuts
|
If
you can find them in your area, there are two kinds of fresh coconuts.
The first is brown and covered in coarse brown “hair”. This is the most
common kind found in the mainland United States. To open this kind of
coconut, take a screwdriver and hammer, and put holes in two or three
of the “eyes” on the top of the coconut. Pour out the water into a cup.
(Save this-- it’s good for you too. I freeze it in an ice cube tray and
add it to smoothies and juices later.) Now take the hammer and
crack the coconut open. It has a tough shell and it may take a
couple of good hits.
If the coconut meat is white and the juice is pretty clear and smells
sweet, this is a good coconut. In my area, about half the coconuts are
old and bad. They often have mold in them. You will see the mold
inside, and it will taste sour. Try to find coconuts that are heavy and
have more coconut water in them. Don’t buy any coconuts that have lumps
or liquid leaking from the “eyes”.
I try to buy several, to be sure I get a good one. (Take back any bad
coconuts you find and complain to the store. The more that people
demand fresh coconuts, the sooner we will start getting fresh coconuts
in our stores.)
The coconuts that are white on the outside are young coconuts. They
have more coconut water and the meat inside is soft enough that you can
eat it with a spoon. Sometimes you can find young coconuts at
specialty stores like Whole Foods Market.
Keep your fresh coconut meat and water in the refrigerator or freezer, once opened.
