Back in the frozen North, I have been enjoying these young coconuts as they are available once and a while in the grocery store. They look like giant white marshmallows with a pointy top after cutting the husks...

Here, they are everywhere, and can often be "coaxed" out of a tree by banging with a large stick.
** Hmmm, yes, I see this thread is loaded with innuendo, but it is purely unintentional! **
Anyhow...
I have been collecting them from the local beach trees, but the milk and inner lining is not as sweet as the grocery store variety, although identical inside. Does anyone know if they need to be aged somehow? The nutritional value is amazing, and I could live off of these things!
Ps,
Don't let one fall on your head, or the health benefits will be instantly reversed!
