Vesna,

You may want to try ‘young coconuts’ if you can find them in your local store. I believe they are way better than a common coconut. They may look daunting to get into, but if you soak a young coconut in a pot of water for a few hours the outer husks peel off as easily as corn husks.

Thanks for your comment. Coconuts bought at the shop aren’t always the freshest – the water in some I bought wasn’t really tasting good.

I think you cand rink the coconut water and it’s good for you instead of throwing it away
I drink the young coconut water so I’d assume the mature or ripe coconut water would be good too as when I buy coconut milk it is from ripe coconuts and have water and the cream on top. It is a very nutritious water and shouldn’t be wasted full of trace minerals and ultra hydrating.
I’ve heard of shredding it and putting it compost or the garden. I was thinking of making a small hole in them filling them with water and making a drip system….still int he works though.

Hi Bimla,

Is there a link or photo we can see how do you recycle coconut shells?
