Quality and ripeness
A coconut is at its best when the flesh is soft and juicy. The secret of a good coconut: it splashes inside when shaken! A ripe coconut has a dark brown colour and feels heavy.
Use
Young coconuts contain the most and the sweetest coconut water. Older coconuts have thicker and tougher flesh.
Coconut water, coconut flesh and coconut oil are a common ingredient in Asian cuisine. The delicious taste and health claims associated with coconut have reached the west during the past years, bringing along a broad range of fantastic recipes. Coconut milk will instantly turn a stir-fry into a true feast. Coconut milk goes with any type of meat, fish or poultry, as well as vegetables and fruit.
Add coconut milk to your stir-fried vegetables or meat, together with ginger, lemon grass or a nice Thai curry paste. Leave it to simmer and... done!
