These peeled fresh coconuts contain both refreshing, potassium/electrolyte-laden coconut water and tender coconut meat. Drink the coconut water by itself or as part of a refreshing beverage, and use the meat either fresh or dried in salads, baked goods, soups and other dishes.
Applications: Coconut water is a refreshing beverage all by itself, but can also be combined with other ingredients for additional flavors and nutritional benefits. Try adding petals from Szechuan buttons to your coconut water to impart an exciting electric zing to every sip.
Fresh coconut meat can be eaten as a snack or used in desserts, soups, salads and Southern ambrosia. It can also be dried for long term storage (see How to Store and Share) and used as a topping or ingredient…often in baked goods like macaroons, pies, and cakes.
Coconut meat can also be used to make homemade coconut milk. Simply chop the meat into small chunks, and blend with warm water or milk to your desired consistency. Strain through cheesecloth or a chinois (very fine mesh strainer), pressing the meat to extract all of the milk.
Coconut milk will only keep in your fridge for a few days, but can be frozen for longer term storage. As your coconut milk sits in the fridge, a layer of coconut cream will rise to the top, which can either be used as coconut cream or mixed back into the milk. Coconut milk & cream are delicious in drinks, cocktails, ice cream, rice dishes, soups, marinades and curries.
Coconut is commonly paired with flavors like passion fruit, nuts, lemongrass, papaya, lime, chocolate, banana, pineapple, mango, spicy chilies, apricot, cream & custards.
How to Store and Share: Whole coconuts will last for up to a month in the refrigerator. Once opened, their meat should also be refrigerated in an air-tight container and consumed within two weeks. Coconut water will last for a week in the fridge.
For long term storage of fresh coconuts, we recommend harvesting all the meat and freezing it in zip-top freezer bags with all the air removed. You can also freeze the coconut water.
Coconut meat can be grated or very finely sliced and dried in a single layer in a 200 degree oven (stir frequently). If completely dried and kept in an air-tight container, it can be stored at room temperature for several months.
