They ship frozen, and you can keep it in your freezer pretty much indefinitely (I just used some I bought in bulk two years ago). Expensive, but so amazing – no more cracking coconuts and not knowing what you’ll get!

Liquid Gold – that is what I call it. :) Thank you for sharing that info for Emma. It is always challenging for other countries or shoot even here in the US to find certain ingredients. I appreciate that. Have a wonderful evening, amie sue

I have been known to chase down spilt coconut water with a straw on my counter top. lol Sad but true :) Have a wonderful week! amie sue

Last year I would process a case of them for my girlfriend every few months so she could freeze it and use it in her morning smoothies… works well. Regarding the yogurt starter – I just made a coconut yogurt last week. I will post the recipe asap. I just used probiotics to create it. Have a splendid week! amie sue

Coconut manna is indeed similar but a bit more dense than the real coconut flesh from a Young Thai coconut, so keep that in mind. Today for lunch I took some young coconut flesh and put it in the blender with a little water. Blended it till creamy, added a drop or two of stevia (I have a sweet tooth) and some cinnamon…. HEAVEN!!!!!

Have a wonderful evening Lisa..amie sue

(in case i can’t find these?) I love your website and I try my best to re-create many of your dishes with what I consider amazing success. Thanks for all you do!

I add a little each day to my smoothies. I had no idea I could freeze them. Yaay! Now I can buy several them on sale. I’d love to try coconut yogurt. Maybe I can find a non dairy yogurt starter?

I was lucky enough just recently on a holiday in Costa Rica to have the largest coconut ever – I think it was picked that morning and was the size of a football – there must have been a liter of liquid inside and the flesh was soft and delicious.

To Emma Green – sometimes you can find green coconuts in local ethnic markets or shops or Thai coconuts in oriental supermarkets, at least in London. They do tend to be quite expensive though!

In London I find them at See Woo stores (large chinese stores) but also occasionally in small Asian corner shops. Just have a look around. They are sometimes sold whole though, ie with the whole green ‘husk’ rather than white, outer shell removed and pointed at the top (as in the picture above).

It all has its pluses and minuses. :) We can get aged ones here too but I haven’t dabbled much with them. I need to. :) I hope you are having a great weekend, amie sue
