Coconuts are in season all year round because you can always buy them fresh. This is the case with many tropical fruits. Extreme seasons such as summer and winter do not exist there. Therefore, the fruits ripen all year round.
Coconuts have a ripening period of up to twelve months. Some coconuts are harvested after just six to eight months of ripening. These include, for example, the drinking coconuts, which are popular in Thailand and are cut off the palm tree in whole bunches.
Are there still differences between individual coconuts?
Different types of coconut differ in:
- size
- color
- Weight
- shape
- Amount of coconut water contained
- Amount of contained coconut meat
Also, the flavor of a coconut varies depending on the amount of sun or rain it receives while growing.
tips and tricks
You can tell a fresh coconut by the gurgling sound of the coconut water when you shake the nut. If you don't hear anything, then the nut is old.
