These coconuts are dipped in formaldehyde to preserve them. The fresh young Thai Green coconuts don't last as long. Maybe four to five days.... They need to be kept chilled in the fridge. These have the green removed and are not as good because of the chemical.
I would prefer to buy fresh coconuts that are organic and have no preservatives at all. This was more of an experiment.
Love the beautiful white meat !!
I poured the coconut water into a mason jar to have a look at it. It was not as clean as my first coconut I opened last month. That coconut was mature, but very fresh. The water was soooo refreshing and sweet.
I am way excited that you were able to find these coconuts! I think I would faint if I had such luck in Israel! LOL! Looks like you enjoyed it! Great Blog Terri! Bina :)
