Gopal Farm Juicing Coconuts are: Ideal For juicing companies/juice shops Need a machete or Coconut opening machine Harvested at peak freshness so have most electrolytes, nutrients, and taste Grown in the USA Grown using agroforestry regenerative methods to enhance biodiversity and store carbon Whole, so no oxidation Yield: 8-10 oz (approx.) of Coconut Water & 8-10 oz (approx.) of Coconut Meat It is equivalent to the cost of a similar quantity of pasteurized packaged Organic coconut water & Organic Coconut Chunks harvested and packed months earlier. Weight approx. 7 lbs. Size: 8"x10" (ave) Harvested Fresh but are mature, so they need to be opened with machete or Coconut opener machines. Many of our trees are green Malay coconut and a few orange Malay varieties with a refreshing sweet taste. With numerous health benefits and a great taste, it is no wonder that so many people enjoy bottled coconut water. But the Packaging process: loses the nutrition and taste due to oxidation loses the good bacteria, nutrients, and electrolytes by pasteurization adds sugar adds artificial flavors it's expensive So Nature's fresh fruit is the best. Even the ubiquitous "Thai Coconuts" are not the best option as: They are harvested 2-3 months earlier, often before maturing; hence the peak nutrients and taste are missing They are peeled (for lower cost of transportation and ease of opening by consumers) - but then they oxidize through the peeled hard shell. To reduce oxidation and conserve moisture, these "Thai Coconuts" are often plastic wrapped. Photo by Thirdangel on Flickr. (Creative Commons). Each "Thai coconut" expends valuable carbon due to traveling from the other side of the world large monoculture coconut plantations emit much carbon, and old-growth forests (that store carbon) are often destroyed to make way for these plantations. often they are not organically grown or ethically harvested with child (or even monkey) harvesters, an issue The ideal would be to have a coconut from your backyard - but that is a paradise few have in North America. The next best would be to have USA-grown Juicing Coconuts grown. Our Pine Island, FL Farm is possibly the largest Coconut farm in the USA, and we have pioneered large-scale coconut farming in the USA. Many people find that the Tender Whole Coconut : is too difficult to open is too heavy and unwieldy to carry around Once they are older, the inside shell starts hardening, making it difficult to open easily with a small knife or with this Brazilian tool. Then you would need a machete, a large knife, or even a drill to get to the sweet water. Note: If you would like delivery to your place, please contact customer support for the information.
