  • ~30 - 35 lbs
  • Coconut aka "Ye-Zi", "椰子"
  • Coconut is a mature coconut fruit with a brown, hairy, hard shell. The coconut water is replaced by coconut meat as the coconut matures. The coconut meat is firm with a distinct tropical taste. Coconut is available year-round.
Handling Tip
Selection
  • The coconut should feel heavy for its size and free of blemishes and cracking.
  • Shake the coconut for a sloshing sound that represents the coconut water in the nut. Always buy the one with more water content in it as an indication of a younger coconut.
Storage
  • The coconut should be stored at 32ºF - 35ºF (0ºC - 1.5ºC) with a relative humidity of seventy-five to eighty-five percent and no mist.
  • The typical shelf life is two months under optimal temperature and relative humidity. Higher temperature decreases the shelf life. At 55ºF - 60ºF (13ºC - 16ºC) with a relative humidity of eighty to eighty-five percent, the shelf life decreases to less than two weeks.
  • Avoid low relative humidity and high temperature which may lead to mold and weight loss. A rapid temperature change of 15ºF (8ºC) or more during storage can lead to cracking.
  • Coconut is not sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Coconut produces a very low level to near zero ethylene.
  • Coconut is not sensitive to chilling injury.
