Choosing a Coconut with Plenty of Water
After being harvested, it should be stored in the shade, at room temperature, and consumed within 10 days. Prefer a fruit with a uniformly green shell. Darker spots usually mean the coconut is very ripe and has less water. Select a heavy coconut and shake it vigorously; if you hear the water inside moving easily, chances are it doesn't have much water. Selecione um coco bem pesado e chacoalhe com força, se escutar a água em seu interior se movimentar com facilidade, a chance é de que não tenha tanta água.
