What is a Young Coconut?
A young coconut is a coconut which is harvested before it is fully mature. Young coconuts are also known as green or tender coconuts, depending on regional preferences, and they are harvested both for their flesh and for the liquid inside, which is known as coconut juice or water. In the tropics, young coconuts are commonly available at markets and stores, and they are also available in urban areas in other regions of the world.
