As a native of Hainan mushroom cold, many people will ask me how to choose coconuts and how delicious they are. Let's talk about coconuts with you today.
First of all, from the perspective of "age", it is divided into old coconut and tender coconut, and the tender coconut is also what everyone often calls coconut green. From the appearance point of view, it can be generally seen by looking at the color. The outer peel of coconut green is light green or dark green, and the middle peel is milky white, which is relatively dense to the touch. The outer and medium peels of the old coconut are brown, and the middle peel is relatively rough, like extremely frizzy hair, and some old coconuts will germinate.
<h1>The old coconut is delicious or the coconut green is delicious</h1>
The answer to this question depends on your needs. Coconut green coconut water is more, relatively sweet, tender flesh. If you're lucky, pick just the right coconut green, coconut meat if frozen soft and tender, with a faint coconut flavor, anyway, I especially like. Coconut green is suitable for friends who like light, daily leisure like to drink coconut water.
Jelly-like coconut meat
The coconut water of the old coconut will be relatively less, and I personally feel that the coconut flavor is heavier, but it is also sweet. The most important thing is the coconut meat, because the growth time is enough, the coconut meat is very thick, take a bite, the rich coconut flavor, you can also feel the coconut oil. However, friends with bad teeth are not recommended to eat, bite the tooth acid, and there is coconut residue. Usually my family will buy soup, put coconut water and coconut meat into the pot, and stew with chicken, which is also very delicious.
Remember to shake it when buying old coconut, sometimes you can feel that there is something inside. That's right, you won the lottery, this is the coconut heart (it should be the embryo of the coconut), very sweet. At this time, my suggestion is to pick the coconut heart is not too big, small is good (shake a shake to feel it).
The coconut heart is too big, one is that the coconut heart is not delicious, and the other is basically no coconut water. But coconut meat is very fragrant, very fond of eating old coconut meat friends can choose this.
<h1>There is a difference between Thai coconut green and domestic coconut green</h1>
At the beginning, I was adhering to the mentality of "it's all coconuts, what a difference". By chance, I tried Thai coconut green. The first bite is really stunning, completely different from Hainan coconut. Thai coconut water is relatively sweeter, with a faint taro aroma. However, it can not be said which is good and which is not good, although The Thai coconut green is sweet, but it will be a little greasy to drink more. The Hainan coconut water is biased towards sweetness, slightly astringent, and I personally think it will be more thirst-quenching.
There is a saying in Hainan that the coconut at noon is not sweet, and it is not very sweet that is bought every time. If you want to wrap sweet, I personally recommend choosing Thai coconut green. Finally, someone asked which of the two kinds of coconut green is delicious, this depends on personal taste, and it depends on the wisdom.
