young coconut logistics, coconut water kefir

[Guest guest]

[MAP] Wow, pretty neat. What part of the world is this in? I've long

been wondering if there was an online vendor for young coconuts, and,

voila, there it is! Thanks for sharing this. Not that I'd bother

myself, because I can buy them in many stores less than one hour away,

but not everyone is so lucky and this topic comes up all the time.

Uh, wait a second. <melissas.com> is selling 3 of them for

$26.70!!!!!! That's insane. It's definitely *not* worth paying that

much. I pay $1.50 a pop at most. Someone should set up a little

business selling them at a reasonable price.

So, wait, does that mean people go to your local supermarket and buy

young coconuts for about $10 a pop? Must be an upscale area!

Hi Mike, yes, incredibly expensive through 's. I'm in upstate

NY, and shop at Wegman's when I can afford it and they charge me about

$2.99 for a coconut. Where do you get it for $1.50? I buy them every

couple of months and make coconut juice kefir with the coconut water and

then blend the meat with water and a can of coconut milk and kefir that,

so it's somewhat economical but really a treat until I can consume

regular milk kefir without a problem. Cheers, Dahlia
