just wondering about this coconut i just opened. the water has a pink hue to it, ans so does the meat. does this mean it's bad? it doesn't smell bad, or taste bad. it's just pinkish. should i eat it or not?

thanks..

I've eaten a few like that and suffered no adverse effects. Generally I decide to eat my coconuts based on smell and taste.

I opened a coco that was white but smelled and tasted off-almost like rancid coco oil. I threw it away.
I wonder what the pink could be?

well, i ended drinking some of the water, but not all of it. i just couldn't get around the color. and it only had a tiny bit of meat on it anyway, whic was very pink as well. it's still a mystery to me why it was pink. maybe it sat too long before getting onto the grocery shelf?

Once I opened an coconut and no water came out.
I knew that was a bad sign.
So I took a look at the meat and it was sort of yellowish or pinkish.
It tasted really bad so I threw it away.

I guess if it doesn't taste rancid or anything, you can enjoy it.
