How to choose coconut for coconut milk.
Choosing a good coconut to make coconut milk is an important step in getting delicious and quality coconut milk. Here are some tips for choosing the right coconut:
1. Choose a coconut that feels full in weight.
When you lift the coconut, feel its weight. Coconut containing coconut milk will usually feel heavier because it contains coconut milk in it. Choose the heaviest among those available.
2. Choose a coconut that contains water.
Shake a coconut to your ear and listen to the sound of the water inside. The sound of gurgling water indicates that the coconut is still fresh and contains lots of coconut milk. Avoid choosing coconuts with dead sound or no sound at all, because that may indicate a coconut that is dry or rotten.
3. Check the cage.
Check the coconut shell to make sure there are no cracks or large holes. Coconuts with intact shells tend to be fresher and of good quality.
4. Check the eyes of the coconut.
Coconut eyes are signs of sprouts growing on the surface of the coconut. Make sure the coconut eyes are not discolored or rotten, which could be a sign that the coconut is no longer fresh.
5. Choose a coconut that is colored and shiny.
Choose coconuts with light brown to dark brown skin, depending on the variety. Coconut skin that looks fresh and shiny usually indicates that the coconut is still good.
6. Check the scent.
The smell of coconut should be fresh and distinctive, without a musty or rancid odor. An unpleasant odor can be a sign that the coconut is no longer fresh or is starting to rot.
By paying attention to the tips above, you can choose good and fresh coconuts to make delicious and refreshing coconut milk.
