Re: Sprouted Coconut Info-anyone???

I'm not sure why it's referred to as copra on that particular website because it's misleading. I googled copra and it only refers to the dried coconut meat as you mentioned.

Here's something else I came across:

"4.4 Coconuts Coconuts require 4 or more months to sprout, and supermarket coconuts probably won't sprout. If you really want to sprout a coconut, you will need a fresh, mature raw nut with its husk intact. Sprouting coconuts are edible, and are considered a delicacy in some tropical countries.

The best way to eat coconuts is when they are immature/green. As they grow, the coconut flesh changes from liquid to a soft jelly, then to a chewy consistency, and finally to hard flesh. Green coconuts are available in some tropical countries, in parts of Florida, and in some U.S. produce markets (where they are imported from Mexico). Get them at the chewy stage - a wonderful food!"

Doesn't look like I'll be eating any sprouted coconut in the near future :(
