Young Thai cocnuts!! These are the best and they have more water than the old guys!!
The thing with cocnut water is that you have to open the cocnut and drink it right away or it looses it’s benefits!! The stuff oxidizes REALLY quickly and become useless for us. So I wouldn’t advise opening up a bunch of them and storing it in the fridge. You gotta open it and drink it down!!
A coconut water fast sounds sooooo good!! So yummy! :) But what are you going toi do with the flesh? It’s too good to waste!!!
Yeah, young Thai coconuts, definitely! If you get them really fresh, they store in the fridge easily for a week or longer unopened, so you can load up – I love to buy them by the case at the Asian market. That way, I have them on hand and can eat/drink several at a time or have one and wait a day or two.
Maybe you could make ice cream out of the coconut meat?
I have made all sorts of things from the meat, from stroganoff like sauce, smoothies (of course), as a soup base and anywhere I want to add creaminess. I understand that the meat has less fat than the same amount of nuts, so I like to use it when I can.
Coconut is really good in desserts. One time I did have a vegan soup (cooked) that was like an Indian curry coconut, the coconut really tasted good and I am going to prob make a raw version.
Thanks everyone! I’ll probably do something with the young coconut meat. Now…I’m not sure where to find an Asian market. I live near Boston so there has to be something around here!
