brown coconut or young coconut?
Date: October 20, 2007 03:32PM

I was talking to my friend and she asked me why I use young coconut in most of my recipes and not brown coconut. I do know that there is more juice in a young coconut and the pulp is softer. But why do all the raw recipes ask for young coconut and not the brown coconut? Is there really a difference?

Young coconut meat is much softer, and tastier.

I love both brown and green coconuts. The meat from the green coconuts is more like a jelly and the water seems more alive. The brown ones have a stronger tasting water and the meat is more fully developed and firmer. I like to cut up the meat from the brown ones and soak the pieces in lime juice for an hour or so. It's an awesome snack.
