Comments on: Where You Can Find Organic Young Thai Coconuts http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2007/11/30/where-you-can-find-organic-young-thai-coconuts/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:16:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Cindy http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2007/11/30/where-you-can-find-organic-young-thai-coconuts/#comment-72519 Cindy Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:47:22 +0000 http://renegadehealth.com/blog/where-you-can-find-organic-young-thai-coconuts/#comment-72519 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. Yeah . . . that’s crazy to pay that outrageous price.

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. http://www.ba.ars.usda.gov/hb66/055coconut.pdf They explain how all young coconuts are treated before sold to us.

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. We found them here in Texas at HEB for $1.99 each and I thought that was costly.

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! Can you tell us exactly where you found your information?
