Love the coconut webisodes! They are truly awesome and inspiring. I just recently bought 2 young cocos. Just had one today using Kevin’s method for opening with a knife. Well, I used a cleaver and didn’t have my usual panic with cutting my fingers off and it came apart perfectly. I made a pina colada smoothie with the water, the meat, pineapple, 1 kiwi that was begging to be used and 3 kale leaves. So fine! Yumm! So thank you immensely again!
I also get my young cocos at the Asian market or at Jimbo’s here in San Diego. The Asian market is sometimes 30 cents cheaper, 1.69 vs 1.99 so it’s a bonus! And like everyone else, lovely dress Annmarie and I want to go visit Charlie at her restaurant! Never been to the Keys!

I love the young Thai Coconuts and am lucky that even though I live in Canada Super Store almost always has young coconuts available. The first time I tried to open a coconut by myself I chopped the end of my thumb open and had to go for stitches but since than I have become an expert at opening them and actually use the dull side of the knife to crack the top of the coconut off., pour the water out and scoop out the meat. I like to drink the water and make chocolate pudding with the meat.

Recipe seems good but we don’t have these kind of coconuts in Canada. Can we substitute the coconut meat with coconut flakes?

So many recipes come with ingredients from warm places (special fruits that are not available in Canada); so it would be good to mention by what they can be substituted -when it is possible!

Dale@16 — coconut water ferments rather quickly. The best way I’ve found for taking it on a hike is to freeze it in bottles, and bring the bottles along. The ice will keep it fresh until you drink it. Once it’s completely thawed, unless it’s in an insulated container, drink up!

Dee@40 — once you’ve strained the nut milk, fridge or freeze the leftovers from several batches. Dehydrate at low temps till it’s quite dry. This is a great “flour” for live cakes, cookies, and pie crusts, either sweet or savory. Ground flax seed will help hold it together, but you’ll need a “wet” ingredient — e.g. soaked apricots for a sweet, fresh fennel and celery for a savory.

My live mayonnaise substitute: As always, the first ingredient is love. Soak 1/4 c. Brazil nuts in alkaline water overnight, rinse, and strain. Blend nuts in Vitamix with juice of one lime, 1-2 T. extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove garlic, and a little salt until creamy. If not creamy enough, add the meat of a very young coconut (I keep some in the freezer for smoothies).

Health and peace! Enjoy your n’egg salad!

That looked so good! I adore coconut anything but don’t have much access to it here in Canada.

Please not the handful of parsley was not included in the recipe above.

Thanks Betsy!! SteffySue’s Youtube video on opening a Young Thai Coconut was great! Plus, she also gives some good general information on the coconuts…didn’t know toxic chemicals are used to keep the outer shell from rotting and turning brown, and that’s why the coconuts are usually wrapped in plastic. Glad to know the chemicals don’t seep inside cause I can’t wait to try this recipe!!

I agree with Denise
on the mayo, why give a recipe without giving the recipe, I was disappointed too. I still appreciated the idea and all the video help, we hope charlie will change her mind and give us the oppurtunity to taste the true beauty of this mouth watering recipe. thanks to all you healthy beautiful women who inspire us women to have this raw healthy lifestyle.

I watched several ‘how to open a coconut’ youtube videos. Some are awful, some great. I first cut down the pointy top further..round and round to get down to the hard shell, then I use the ‘butt’ end of a cleaver, 2 or 3 whacks and it’s open. A round hole. I pour out the liquid into a canning jar or Vita-mix. I use an ice cream scoop that is sort of a ‘cupped hand’ shape. It is sharp and scrapes out the meat easily. Don’t forget to dry out the finished coconut and peelings, they make great fire starters. I go to an Oriental food store on the Friday when the truck comes and delivers the coconuts. A box of 9 is $12. It is always a toss of the coin…some have thin meat, some thick. They must be used/cut up/frozen within a few days. Sometimes they get lavender colored inside. I’ve read that they are bad then. But I’ve tasted it and it’s fine to me so I use it anyway. But then I know when I bought them. A whole pineapple (only $1.99 each in winter)2 coconuts and meat, vanilla, a few ice cubes or frozen coconut and Vita-mixer up!!!
