King Coconut, peeled (තැඹිලි) 1kg

Description

Weight & storage
The coconuts are peeled and delivered without the husk and weigh only between 400 and 800 grams each.
They should be kept in the refrigerator on arrival and consumed quickly.

The ripeness stage of the peeled King Coconuts that we offer is “Kurumba”.

Kurumba
Young Coconuts in Sri Lanka are usually offered for drinking. The coconut water is refreshingly sugar-sweet and the flesh is 1-3 mm thick. It can be spooned out very easily. The optimal refreshment on the roadside 😉
However, we can only send mature nuts with already formed inner shell. Coconuts that are too young cannot be peeled. Softer specimens can burst during transport.
That´s why we select the perfect maturity level for transport: Maximum drinking pleasure and lots of pulp, which can still be removed relatively easily. We try to choose the ripeness in such a way that the pulp can still be removed with a spoon.
The perfect drink not only for athletes!

Storage: Store IMMEDIATELY in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days.
Shake test: Hardly any noise, as almost completely filled with water.

Basic information: What do we have to consider when peeling?
The key point is that the inner shell of the coconut must already be hard. Only then can the nut be peeled without bursting open or being damaged during transport. In general, the younger the coconut, the less fiber can be removed without damaging the nut or jeopardizing safe transport. It is important that the upper part of the nut – where the three “eyes” are located, is not completely freed from the fiber coat. Because here the coconut shell is the thinnest and you can easily open it here. One of the three eyes is still soft and can easily be opened with a knife. There is also a risk that the coconut will be damaged and that is why we leave the husk over the three “eyes” for protection when peeling.

The king coconut has the advantage that the inner core shell develops earlier than with a normal coconut. It is therefore perfectly suitable for peeling.
