A not-so-small shoot from a not-so-small seed...
A young coconut is loaded with coconut milk, which is so pure, it has been used during wartime for blood transfusions. It's not anything like the thick coconut milk you get in the store-it's more like coconut-flavored water.
The meat of a young coconut is like a creamy jelly, but is only in a thin layer.
As the coconut matures, the meat thickens and hardens as the liquid disappears. Thanks to my father-in-law for scaling a ladder (twice) and wielding a machete like a pro. What a day!
