Coconuts: The Versatile Tropical Delight Embark on a tropical journey with coconuts, believed to be native to the coastal regions of Tropical Asia and the Pacific. Our coconuts, harvested locally from South Florida, come in diverse varieties, differing in shape, color, and size. Distinguished as a drupe, a coconut is a unique blend of fruit, nut, and seed. Encased within its rugged exterior is a layer of nutritious meat, varying in thickness based on the coconut's maturity. This meat surrounds the coconut water, an electrolyte-rich natural beverage. Coconuts aren't just a treat for the palate but are packed with essential nutrients. They are rich in calories, vitamins, and minerals, making them a complete food. Furthermore, coconut water is an electrolyte powerhouse, perfect for hydration. Always stay informed about delivery times after placing your order, as prolonged exposure to outdoor heat can affect coconut freshness. ORDERS ARE PACKED FOR SHIPPING AT THE START OF THE WEEK FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE DATE. THEY DON'T SHIP IMMEDIATELY UPON ORDERING. Coconut Pro Tips Your coconuts arrive ready to be cracked open. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness. Typically, coconuts have a shelf life of 1-2 weeks when stored properly. The coconut water inside serves as a natural indicator of freshness; if it tastes sour or fermented, the coconut may be past its prime. For extended storage, refrigerate the coconut. To open, use a sharp knife or a coconut tool to puncture and drain the water before breaking it open.
