Young Thai Coconut 9 Count

Details

Add a touch of tropical flare to your menu with this young Thai coconut! These coconuts are harvested young at 7 to 9 months, ensuring thin husks and sweet flesh. Before they're shipped, these coconuts have their tough outer shell expertly pared away leaving just the white husk behind. The husk is carved with a flat bottom so that the coconuts can sit upright on tabletops. Open the coconut to reveal a large amount of sweet, refreshing water with notes of almond, and soft, jelly-like meat with a sweet and tropical flavor. Best of all, these young Thai coconuts don't just look and taste great, but they're great for you, too! Coconut water is rich in potassium and natural electrolytes, making it a fabulous rehydration choice, while coconut meat is high in fiber and contains essential nutrients like iron, copper, zinc, potassium, and vitamins C and E. This bulk 9 count supply of young Thai coconuts will keep your kitchen well stocked with this delicious and wholesome ingredient!

Opening these young Thai coconuts takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's well worth the effort. Begin by laying the coconut on its side. Working on the pointed tip of the coconut, use a sturdy chef's knife to remove as much of the husk as possible until the top of the hard inner shell is exposed. Once the inner shell is exposed, whack the heel of your chef's knife into the inner shell until it cracks open. Working carefully with either the tip or heel of your knife, slide the blade into the opening to cantilever it open and remove the top "lid" of the shell. Now your coconut is open and ready to serve! These young Thai coconut shells make a fun and memorable serving vessel. Serve a young Thai coconut simply with a straw and a sturdy spoon to allow you guests to sip the refreshing coconut water and scoop out the delicate meat. You can also remove the coconut water to use in another application and use the shell to serve tropical cocktails! No matter how you choose to use them, these young Thai coconuts will help to set your menu apart from the competition.
