Fresh coconut juice, like clear water, is colorless and transparent, with a fragrant smell. If the coconut juice tastes sour and bitter, the coconut water is turbid and the flesh is yellow, which means that the coconut has gone bad and can no longer be eaten.

Due to the influence of origin, variety, maturity and freshness, it is slightly different. Some coconut juice will be a little astringent and a little sour, but it should be very light. If the sour taste is heavy and the liquid is turbid, it is broken. Generally speaking, fresh coconut milk is a little sour. When you eat coconut milk, you need to add some sugar to make it taste better.

Tips for buying coconuts

1, shake it. You'd better lift and shake the coconut before you buy it. If there is a sound of water, it means that this coconut is not tender or has been stored for a long time. If you want to drink coconut juice, it is not recommended to buy this kind of coconut.

2. Weigh the coconuts that look ok one by one and touch them with your hands. If they are heavier, they will contain more water.

3. Look at the lines. If the dermatoglyphics on the coconut are more detailed, it must be "green". There is more coconut juice, but the taste is a bit astringent; There are fewer natural coconuts with relatively wrinkled epidermis, but coconuts are sweeter and more.
