Description

From the producer:

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
  • Certified USDA Organic
  • Grown using agroforestry regenerative methods to enhance biodiversity and store carbon
  • Whole, so no oxidation

Yield:

  • 8-10 oz (approx.) of Organic Coconut Water &
  • 8-10 oz (approx.) of Organic 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.

  • 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. We are the only Certified Organic Coconut farm in mainland 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.
