Tender coconut has two parts: Water, and Coconut meat. Many people only drink the water part of it while few love the coconut meat as well. A vendor usually asks if you want water or the cream but even he may go wrong in the selection while choosing one.
These are these key points to keep in mind while selecting a tender coconut:
Choosing a good vendor: The vendor must be physically strong to cut the coconut efficiently. A weak person may not be able to work efficiently on the coconut and you may lose some water.
Size of the Tender Coconut: See that they are not too small. The small ones hardly have any water in them.The big coconut doesn’t mean more water. The water volume will be minimum in an overripe coconut. So always select the medium one.
Husk color: It should be green without much gray patches or strips. Avoid ones with grey, yellow-green, or brown patches as they are likely to be mature or stale and contains more of the coconut meat than the water. Too much of grey areas on the surface indicate that the coconut is getting overripe.
Don’t let vendor to select: Vendors usually select the one they get their hands on. There might be a better piece nearby. Glance over and select one for yourself.
Fix the price beforehand: Coconut vendors vary price depending on size and other parameters. So always fix the price beforehand.
Be cautious while using the straw to drink water: Many vendors simply recycle the straws used by others. All good effects of the tender coconut will be nullified if you use a dirty/contaminated straw.
When taking a parcel to drink: If you let the vendor select the tender coconut, always tell him it’s for drinking on the spot, later tell him it’s for a parcel. Chances are that you may not get a better deal If you directly tell him it is for a parcel.
