I recently did a teleseminar class and a few of the attendees really wanted to know the deal with young thai coconuts and which ones were good to eat and which ones were soaked in poison.
I didn’t know all the research so after the event was over, I made some phone calls and looked around to find (1) what the problems with thai coconuts are and (2) where you can find good, organic young thai coconuts.
Since they have to travel overseas to get here in the US, Canada or other countries, they can take up to six weeks to get here! So what some distributors have to do is put them in a preservative type dip and that dip can contain formaldehyde and a whole bunch of other disgusting things. Some of the young thai coconuts are possibly irradiated as well.
Here’s how you can tell if they’re not so fresh… if you cut it open and see a Thai coconut that has purplish tint to the water that means that it’s bad. That means that it’s started to decompose and also, if you see little black spots around the white shell of the coconut that means it’s started to decompose and mold as well.
This company that I found where you can get fresh organic young Thai coconuts can deliver them in 2-4 days from Thailand or the Southeast to the US and so that’s an incredibly short amount of time given the usual is 6 weeks.
You have to put your order in a week ahead and you have to order in bulk. They sell the by 15 or 30 pound units and a coconut weighs about a pound.

Tell them Kevin Gianni sent you!
If you haven’t had a young Thai coconut and you haven’t cut one open and just drank the juice or put the juice in a smoothie, you’re really, really missing out.
These are just incredible things, so I hope that is beneficial to everyone to get them clean from the source!
On another note… I’d like you take a look at the special holiday health books page a few Hay House authors and myself have put together… the books are incredible and are perfect gifts for family members, friends or co-workers!

Can you tell us exactly where you found your information? I’ve been researching this and the only places I find corroborating information is on seller’s sites. Not the FDA or EPA websites. Thanks!

Festival can order the Melissa brand of coconuts for you – in Wisconsin I pay $30.00 for a case of 9.

We found them here in Texas at HEB for $1.99 each and I thought that was costly. The ones on these websites are $8 to $10 each. At one per day that would cost $250 to $300 per month to drink these daily. I think I will stick with my non-organic from HEB. They are very fresh and of great quality. I’m not sure how to verify if they were shipped in formaldehyde.

I spoke with the Coconut company from Thailand, and no young coconuts have every been dipped in formaldehyde. I don’t know who started that rumor.
They are dipped in Sodium metabisulfite for 2-3 minutes. You guys can go see for you self.

They explain how all young coconuts are treated before sold to us.

Yeah . . . that’s crazy to pay that outrageous price. Although these Young Thai Coconuts are dipped in whatever to preserve what is inside the hard shell, there is a “best” way to open them so that you don’t ingest the preservative to save them for what is inside. You leave the platic on them and only carve the husk off of the top until a bald head is revealed. Then take the edge of the knife closest to you and hit it around in a circle, then it opens up like a lid. Since the husk is off, pouring the liquid out is a piece of cake. Finally, you cut the meat out with an ice cream type scoop or a spoon. Highway robbery to pay such a price for organic. Most of us don’t have that kind of money to eat coconuts at that expense. It’s more important to me to put that $ towards organic produce.
