(26 pics)

prep 6 young coconuts whole
notice some are damp n likely unfresh
some are drier n looks like in better condition
left is dry while the two on right are damp

decided to try damp ones first
...
1st
three eyes are slimy damp
n three eyes are somehow symmetrical
the soft eyes are even blackened
it's very soft the hole can be opened wif a poke
the water is fragrant sweet
not as the bottled ones
flesh is thick enough
wif good bites
n creamy

2nd
a hole that's near the top tip
not an easy opened big hole
water inside less sweet
taste like fermented sour
thinking maybe no fresh ?
flesh same white n creamy
btw
proved that no so fresh
as seen inside got mouldy spots on shell

pic 12 (wtsapp) 
meat

3rd
again one wif the soft hole towards the tip
small hole
n this one even cant drip a hole to pour out water
gotta crack the bottom first
n then the water falling out omg
...
it's wif bigger mouldy spot
yet the juice is more sweet than the second
easily crack open
juz not so hard shell

4th
very pointy tip
towads the tip hard to find the soft eye
a small hole again
hard to open up a hole
water is sweet, a bit like the first one
also
maybe a smaller one
thus harder to crack open bottom
flesh inside is more oily
n a bit more crunchy
yet still tender creamy
wonder if coz unfresh
therefore going rancid?

5th vs 6th
dry vs wet moldy
small hole vs symmetrical big hole


5th
decide to hv the small hole first
harder to open lol
water hardly drip out
water is interestingly fragrant
...
super hard to crack open bottom as well
chop chop chop for the whole circle
until can open up omg
turns out hard white flesh
super crunchy
likely an old one
that's why hard shell

6th
symmetrical easy to open hole
water is sweet like the first
thinking symmetrical eyes ones are the best?
easy to open n sweet to the perfect?
flesh easily detach on the bottom side haha
solid white crunchy flesh
a bit too old the flesh
btw
dark interior shell
probably means older flesh

overall
hard to tell which is old when choosing
so still clueless to identify tender flesh ones
maybe the bigger ones are older?
as they hv grown more mature

yet... some notes
older coconuts got harder flesh
n more oily when touch
but also wif a fragrant coconut water
these old ones after scraping off the meat,
will see a deep brown shell inside
on the other hand
younger ones got thinner creamy flesh
comes wif sweet juice
after finishing the meat,
will see a white thin shell
...
moreover
little bit of mould doesn't affect the quality
as long as it doesn't smell sour
the water n flesh will be still good
