Just a couple of corrections about Thai coconuts. I live in thailand and buy them daily direct from the distributors. The coconut are put in a sulfite vat as soon as the last green is cut from them to stop brown spots from forming, which starts to happen with a few minutes, not because of worms. I sometimes buy them without them being dipped but I can't tell any difference in taste. I can tell the difference in taste depending on what region from thailand they are from. Currently the most sought after area for the best taste are from the ratchaburi area. My buyer gets 5,000 to 10,000 coconuts trucked from there everyday.
Also the reason they are cut like a diamond is because when they are imported to the usa is customs requires that all the green outer be removed.
When I am back in the USA i have noticed that some asian markets are selling coconuts from vietnam, which taste like bark to me. The owner of the market told me that the distributors are only sending him these now. Guess because of the price.
Are you still in the coconut business??? I'm looking for a distributor to do business with. Pls let me know
I'm definitely seriously interested
Just tried a young thai coconut and all my coconut dreams have come true. I think I'm going back to the store and buying all they have.
you are the yoda of coconuts man thanks !
You certainly know your coconuts! Great presentation, I enjoyed all the info you shared...thanks so much!
Philippines coconut, the best! My classmate in high school owned a coconut farm. We hangout there once in a while and consumed unlimited young coconut .
Viet nam , Thai lan , too.
Wow. I live in FL and did not know all that info about coconuts. I've always just gone with what I know and got the brown ones. I'm gonna get the others ones now too now that I know how to handle them. Thanks John.
You're awesome! I'm starting to process my own coconuts and your video has been so helpful.
Coconuts have hair
Coconuts have milk
Coconuts have flesh
Coconuts are mammals :)
😂🤣🤣
Coconuts have eyes and mouth too
like a mother.
Thank you, John! Really appreciate all of your information. Vegan two years and still finding my way. I needed this!
I'm glad I knew I would learn stuff this video. He seemed crazy at first in his others.... crazy for cocopu.. nuts. I enjoyed the detail.
Opened our first white coconut today thanks to your advice! It is delicious!!!
Thanks John for making opening a coconut so much easier!!! I love the white and brown coconuts so much more than the young one! Thanks for this excellent deminstration, I am very grateful for your much needed help. Awesome job!!
Thanks John. I can't believe how easy it actually is to open your own coconut.
Thanks John! Bless you for all that you do!
Love your passion for the coconut. It's my favorite fruit.
Thank you so much for all these information, I have learned a lot from you. I am not afraid to open a coconut anymore.
Love your videos. I'm highly allergic to sulfates. You literally saved me from purchasing the sulfate wrapped coconut. You are literally a life saver. My hero
Thanks for the great tips. I had one of the young coconuts just the other day. Using the water to add into my juicer recipes. It was very refreshing.
this was super informative
I agree you are the Yoda of coconuts. Thanks so much for this video. I love it 😍
I really appreciate this demo. Thanks so much.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! I did't know which end to start at with our first young coconut!
Those young coconuts look like crystals.
You’re such a pure kind gentleman
Great information, thank you John you are the best!
Thank you! Very informative. I loooove coconuts 🌴 especially young Thai. Wish I had a good source locally.
This was very useful thank you!!
You're awesome. Thank you for your dedication to educating the RUclips community on healthy raw eating.
WOW! Great lesson--you really know your stuff! Thanks!
You know your coconuts. Thanks for your very helpful info.
Sooo informative! Answered every question I could think of 😉💛☀️🥥 Thank you
What a fantastic video.Thank you
Thanks to you I finally learned how to open in a neat way a young coconut :) thank you! Now next will be the brown one, unfortunately we don't have the medium stage white ones in France :/ I love young coco water so much, it's sooo delicious :)
Love this video. Educational and good stories. Thanks!
You rock my world! Thank you for the great video
John, I always enjoy your shows. They are detailed and very educational. You are the best in you tube.
thank you Johnm it is so imformative
Thank you very much. I've seen vids which tells you to keep hitting the coconut using the back of the knife and in the process, my blade broke from the handle and I narrowly escaped harm. LOL First time around after watching ur vid, it work and I didn't lose any water or make a mess with the shavings. Again, thank you 10x over! :)
Thanks John, i really appreciate your information and enthusiasm. =]
Thanks. That was really very concise and informative. 🏝
You are the Coconut Man, great job.
Great information
that video blew my mind a decade ago.. and still does today😍
Great video !!!!
John is the man!
i like the high calorie content in coconuts so i dont have to eat so much on a raw food diet, but i also think that they all serve their purpose, it just depends on what you need, you want water go young, you want mass go with brown. the brown ones arent bad
Raw plant diet and you eat coconuts so u do not have to eat much? How can a lifestyle can be called raw plant diet if you eat so much saturated fats? People are funny!
Lt. Nimitz you know mothers milk is 54% saturated fat right? fat isnt the problem lack of antioxidants are
I did watch the full video and I loved it! I also subscribed. Thank you so much for this super-informative upload♡
Wow. Very informative.
Thanks John ;)
Best researcher ever
I left a comment on the other coconut video where you make the oil, butter and cream. I answered my question thanks to your videos. I just might be your biggest fan right now. Dont worry not stalker material just a dedicated fan. Thanks so much!!!!
Thanks for the video John. I will try coconuts again. Haven't had much luck with the younger ones. Probably because I'm in nebraska and by the time I get one its to old!
Good video!
Awesome good info.
I love this. subbed!
+Lrdvltr im so sry but just no.
It was a long video but absolutely worthwhile and informative. Thank you so much for sharing and your time. I've watched it all the way through and you've got my 'like'. Thank you John :)
Best video on using/opening and selecting coconuts. I tried his approaches for the Thai and older ones and it was perfect!
Too bad my old one was moldy inside (too bad Save-on-Foods!) - any tips for checking for that? Seemed the mouth hole was awfully thin, so I can see how easily it got contaminated.
Thanks a lot!
Absolutely fascinating. Just opened my first coconut and it was a blast. Thank you for this. It was wonderfully instructive and fun to watch as well!
Thanks
ok im officially confuzed after 15 minutes in. I need a friggin 2 year degree to eat and use coconuts lol
born68 don't worry, knowledge won't hurt you.
LOL.
You was better than others
so cool
Thanks! Found a similar one on eBay.
Thank you so much for sharing this, I've been somehow wondering about the tool that you used to puncture the white spherical coconut, that do you by any chance know if I'll be able to get that tool from somewhere like Walmart?
I love your videos on RUclips
Coconuts taste different every time. This is determined by when you pick and drink them. I like the ones with really soft meat, they have the sweetest juices.
just I want to tell you how I get the coconut out of the shell easily. since coconuts have a high fat content I open it then put the shell on top of my stove turn on the Fire and let the half of the coconut heat up. when it gets hot enough it will pull away from the shell. I don't mind if the shell gets burned because I used the shell on my BBQ Grill to make activated charcoal which coconut shell is the best activated charcoal for filtering Water and Air. God bless you

pearline jones your awsome, thank you for the great info.
I put it in the freezer. Meat falls off unbelievably easy as you simply break it apart.
12:55 one fast hard tap hahah you shook the entire world with that little "tap" lol
I get my husband to open coconuts. :) Love coconut water with fresh lime!
🎵She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up🎶
😀
You're awesome 🥥
my mouth is so watery, I'm a coconut freak
I love you! You are exciting! Thank you for these videos :)
First 12 minutes could be three or four, but good info sprinkled throughout
You realy know everything ! :) Thanks for sharing ! Hug
Awesome video good info :)
You made cracking that dry hard shell coconut seemed so easy. For a moment I was afraid for your hand with that big knife.
I purchased a case of pomegranate this way from Aldi when it was on sale.
Right on, thanks. How do you feel about putting the coconut in an oven for 10 minutes at 300 to loosen the meet (after draining and splitting) and help you get it out? I've heard that but not tried it. Thanks.
I have a coconut. I’m going too try one today, and i think it will be good. I have the white ones.
Good stuff. It was like taking a college course.

Hi John. Lately I have been making a lot of coconut yogurt and I find that it is really hard to open up the brown hairy coconuts. I will use more Thais than the brown ones, however, the brown ones do have more meat and I like to make a lot of it so I can have it for the week. I will try using the back of my cleaver to open it. I was using a rubber mallet. I will see if this makes a difference. I find myself wincing while I'm trying to open them. I have also hurt my hand because the coconut cracked, but did not open so it pinched my skin!!! I think I need to use the metal cleaver as opposed to the rubber mallet!!! We shall see!!!
Hey John, Can a Lexeem juicer work for extracting. I use it for wheatgrass only....Love your videos learning so much. Would love to make all the different ways to use the coconuts.
Those old coconuts that have a sprout coming out of the top have a sponge like apple inside that tastes so fucking good
My favorites are the yellow or orange ones right off the tree. Drink it, then cut in half using a giant cleaver, cut a sharp edge off the husk and use as a spoon to scoop out the meat = the South American way :-)
Does it make sense to blend mature coconut with water or better to chew? Which way better digested?
Does anyone know where to get the red coconut opener??
i love hawaii's coconuts.
Jon. What is the that blue/greenish poweder that its on young whote mexican coconuts? I know its not mold cause they still taste good.
i go to LAX-C, INC. wholesale market, for my young thai coconut cases 9x coconuts in each case for about $10. what i do is check the bottoms and all around of EACH coconut and if i see any discoloration of the white husk like red, orange, brown, pink, whatever.. i switch them out with good white ones from another case. I do this with everything in this store.

I didn't know anything about coconuts until I watched this video.
cool trick if u freeze cocnut meat its real good
the green coconut has the good water the brown meat taste good
You have awesome videos and great information regarding gardening; however, the captions are the star of your videos. I can't actually see what demonstrations your performing such as cutting into the coconuts. Shrink the the captions and allow the fruits and vegetables to be the stars of the videos. Oh your included without mentioning. Your awesome keep up the excellent work! Thanks again.
Try a "cocotap" from Australia to take the water out. Then use a serrated bread knife to cut/saw the top just above the rim leaving an opening large enough to scoop out the meat with a spoon or ice cream scoop. Your welcome, Cliff Case

We normally only have the brown round coconuts in my area. One store had a shipment of the round white ones. we've never seen them and tried one, it wasnt sweet and had a funny taste--were they just bad?
a ice cream scooper get it out of the shell quite well

What is the name of the tool you used to scrape the meat out and the small knife that looks like a cork screw?
Do you have a source to get the white or thai coconuts by the case? local asian markets and healthfood stores here carry only the thai and dark brown. Here in Central Virginia the cheapest I've found or 3 and 4 dollars each coconut.
John do you know how much coconut water is sufficent to stay hydated daily?
Which ones have the most water/juice? I usually buy for the juice
