YOUNG COCONUTS

“One question for you - what do you think of young coconuts? Water and the flesh? Thanks for your work, it is really appreciated.”

ANSWER: I think young coconuts when bought in tropical countries are fine foods. The water is refreshing and full of minerals and the meat is easy to digest. However, young coconuts sold in Asian stores in North America have been sprayed with a toxic substance and according to my tests this can actually reach the water. (Just put a young coconut from an Asian market in a solution of water and colorant and you'll see the colorant will reach the water and change its color).

So I advise to consume those Thai coconuts from the Asian market only occasionally. If you live or travel to countries where fresh coconuts are available, then have them as often as you'd like!
