Coconuts

[MeklorIlavator]

I just opened up a young coconut, but this one looks different than any coconut I've seen before. The water is a rather deep pink color, and the meat is a pinkish-purplle color. This is my first time dealing with a young coconut, and I can't find anything describing how the stuff is supposed to look like, so I thought I'd ask the playground. Anyone know if this is normal? Or is something wrong with the nut?

Just remember: be gentle, and listen.

Heh.
I've never seen that colour in a young coconut when I've been in coconut-rich areas, but go by smell. Coconuts smell like ammonia when they're bad. Also, is the flesh still like jelly, or is it crunchy? Crunchiness is a sign of age.

Its still jelly, and it smells coconut-y, so I guess its good. Thank you.

Take a picture before you eat it...for science.

And tell us what you're doing with a young coconut, anyway? Just a for-the-hell -of-it or is there something special about young ones? :smalltongue:

I have a question:

Did you, perchance, put a lime in a coconut? I heard it had amazing results.

What a man does with coconuts, young or otherwise, behind closed doors, is better imagined than revealed.:smallyuk:

Young Coconuts (http://images.google.com/images?q=young%20coconuts&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi)

That's what it looks like (the second image). The difference between it and mature coconuts(the normal, hairy brown things) is that the green/white husk isn't removed, and the shell isn't brown. Oh, and the meat is like jelly, instead of hard. The main reason is that I saw one in the grocery store and thought that it might be neat to try it.


And wow. That comes off in a completely different manner if read as thinly veiled sex talk.... Thanks for bringing that side up, Midnight Son :smallyuk:.

AH! Here in Brazil we call it green coconut (you can figure why)! They have more juice than older coconuts, the shell isn't fully developed, that's why it's soft, and the meat is quite tasty.

Now I have the soundtrack to Reservoir Dogs in my head.

Actually, it's a pretty good soundtrack. :smallsmile:

Some one noticed the song reference! Props to dish!

[Raiser Blade]

You put the lime in the coke you nut!

I've got a lovely bunch of... something... what was it again?

I can do this all day. :smalltongue:
