Great tutorial! I haven't been able to get my hands on one of these just yet, so I am a bit confused. I opened a regular coconut today and with that, there is no "scooping out" the meat -it's too firm. Are baby thai coconuts softer? Thanks! Hi! Great tutorial!

I have been eating/drinking young coconuts for years and it's been hit or miss with both the quality of the water and the amount of milk. My latest one had a lot of clear but sour water and absolutely no meat! But when I find one with sweet, flavorful water and enough meat to scoop out, it's heavenly! Would love to improve my chances of success more often. Any advice from anyone? Thanks! =) Hi Pedro – did you get an answer to your question?
