      From experience: all stages of a coconut are distinct, edible and used for different dishes, treats, condiments and ingredients. It’s truly a wonderous plant and sad that most Americans are only familiar with the overripe, hard kind with hard flesh.

        i think they’re only familiar with it (edit: the overripe stuff) because they don’t pay attention to their thai food. that has exploded in popularity over the last few decades and fuck yeah.

      Underripe is when it’s nice and full of water. Best when thirsty. Dry and ripe, best when hungry.
