How do you know when cocconut's are right to eat?

Answer 1

1. Look the coconut over carefully. Do not pick one that has any leakage out of the three black eyes at the top. 2. Pick up the coconut with one hand. It should be fairly heavy for its size. 3. Heft the coconut up and down with your hand to see if you can feel the liquid (the coconut juice or water) sloshing around. 4. Compare coconuts for differences in weight and amount of liquid. If possible, try to find one that has been scored around the middle - this will make it easier to open.
