COCONUT DRY BROWN (avg. lb) per/lb

Description

Coconut Dry Per Each

Taste:

•  Dry brown coconuts have a nutty almost candy-like sweetness

Nutrition:

• Fresh coconut meat provides iron, potassium, protein, saturated fat, and 346 calories per 3.5 ounce serving.

Storage:

• Once opened, a coconut’s shelf life is reduced significantly. The remaining flesh can last for up to 4-5 days if stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator. Freezing the coconut can also extend its shelf life for up to 6 months

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR COCONUT: Look for coconuts that are heavy for their size with enough juice that you can hear an audible sloshing sound. The eyes, or indentations, should be uniformly brown and firm. The husk should be dry and without mold. Even with these signs, it is often best to buy more than one coconut as it is difficult to determine a good coconut.
