Mature Coconut
The top of the young coconut is cut using a sharp knife for sweet coconut water and to remove tender coconut pieces. Pure and fulfilling food!

Indira,
So you bought the sweet lemons in Larry’s is it? I checked that store out, but didn’t find it that impressive except for some dry fruits. Now that you mentioned it, I think I will give it a second chance.
How sweet is the sweetish taste in this curry?

HI Mythili, We were at Bellevue two weeks ago for our car maintaince. Near to that dealership was this shop. Just went there for quick browsing. Bought only these sweet lemons.
It’s a combination of all 5 flavors. Sweetly bitter in one word.:)
Happy New Year and Happy Sankranthi.

Hi Indira,
Could you pls let me know , what kind of special knife you’ve used to cut the coconut’s top? I am struggling with opening the coconut everytime I buy this and would really appreciate any suggestions.Thanks.

Hi Indira,
Did you use any butcher knife to cut this. Need to give everyday for my friend for a teeny tiny medical reason 😉 Thanks.
Hi Victoria,
I usually cut the tender coconut with a small and very sharp pairing knife. Place the knife on the tender coconut and gently tap it with hammer. Tap until it makes a hole and move the knife to next point and tap with hammer again. It’s like opening a soup can but with knife and hammer.
Hope this helps.

[…] Talk about a helping and healing fruit! We’re talking about tender coconuts, as opposed to the ones you’re likely more familiar with – which are actually mature and past-ripe, although still packed with amazing health benefits! As far as I’m concerned, we should make a list why we all shouldn’t be eating these every day. Cutting quick to the chase, here are 18 (more) reasons to love coconuts: […]
