Fresh coconut flesh is one of my favorite snacks, a palm-sized chunk of coconut is so satisfying and helps to stave off sugar cravings. It is softer than dried coconut like desiccated coconut, it is fun to eat and is a perfectly portable snack.
The difference between brown and green coconuts
Brown coconuts: these are the older coconuts, the green husk has fallen away. These coconuts have a thicker layer of flesh inside, and only about 1/2 a cup of coconut water.
Green coconuts: these coconuts are younger, they will still have the green flesh on the outside. Sometimes this has been cut away in store purchased coconuts, and it will have a white husk instead. The flesh in these coconuts is very thin, sometimes jelly-like. These young coconuts have much more coconut water inside and are perfect for drinking or using in smoothies.
