The difference between old coconut and green coconut

The texture and taste of old coconut and young coconut are different. Mature coconuts are called old coconuts, while some unripe coconuts are called green coconuts. The taste and effects of coconut milk are different. Old coconuts have a wide range of uses. They can be used in cooking, drinking directly, and even the coconut meat tastes very good. Compared with green coconuts, old coconuts are more valuable and have a higher chance of being purchased.

Green coconut, a young coconut with green skin. Generally speaking, the juice of young coconut is fresher and more tender, and can be drunk immediately after opening.

(Young coconut)

What is common on the market is the coconut shelled board, which is cut into a uniform standard "round house" shape. At first, it was cut like that to make it easier to place in the limited size of the freezer, and later it became a convention.

(Hairy Coconut)

As for the old coconut, it is what it looks like after peeling off the surface layer of the coconut skin. The hairy coconut is made by removing the shell of old coconut and making it look hairy. (Generally speaking, old coconut = hairy coconut)

(Coconut King)

When the coconut matures a little more and its skin turns yellow, it is called the king coconut. In addition to drinking coconut water, the coconut meat can be dug out to make coconut flakes, coconut shreds, and coconut cakes. Most people believe that the king coconut is the essence of coconut.

Which is better, old coconut or green coconut?

Young coconuts are more suitable for drinking coconut milk, while old coconuts are more suitable for eating coconut meat, pressing coconut oil, making coconut rice, or making coconut flakes and other uses.

The water from green coconut is cooler and sweeter. Drinking a sip of fresh green coconut water in the summer will make you feel extremely cool and refreshing. If you want to drink water, it is recommended to choose green coconut

How to choose green coconut

Shake the coconut when selecting. If there is a clear sound of water, it means the coconut is juicy. If you like to eat coconut meat, you should choose a coconut that feels heavier and feels heavier when shaken.

The ones you buy in the supermarket are all medicated. They all look white, because that's how they can be preserved longer, but they don't taste good.

Generally, coconuts are best eaten within 3 days of being picked from the tree. The taste will change after that! Generally, we divide them into head and tail. The head is the one with 3 concave holes on the shell, and the tail is the one in the opposite direction.

The coconuts sold in supermarkets are all peeled. The easiest way to judge whether the coconut is tender or old is as follows:

1. Shake. If you hear a sound when shaking, 99% of the time it is old. Note: The bottles sold in supermarkets have been stored for a long time and the moisture inside will evaporate, so they will make noises when shaken.

2. Look at the rear, the three stars on the rear (think of the Mercedes-Benz logo). The white ones are young, and the brown ones are old!

Note: The ones sold in supermarkets have all been treated with medicine, and the black ones can sometimes be made white inside!

3. Weight: Take a few selected ones and compare their weights. Generally, the heavier ones are the tenderest ones!
