Answers from the field
Notes on growing, processing and cooking with coconuts.
A coconut for drinking and one for grating are not picked at the same stage. Growers combine maturity and condition with the intended use. The tree does not run on our calendar, so checking the fruit still matters.
One coconut, many possibilities

From the recipe collection
Coconut milk brings a mellow base to vegetables and fragrant curry paste.
Use milk for a creamy base; add it gently and adjust the liquid. Work in small batches and follow the pack’s storage instructions.
