Purple coconut???

[Jul]

Just opened a coconut and it's purple inside. Is it still any good? All the others have always been white.

If it's pink it's bad!!!!! Purple...wow, must be rotten! DO NOT EAT!!!

Is it a violet color? I've had one of those before, I believe that it is just very young, the meat will be super tender. As long as it tastes ok I would eat it!

never seen that before, let us know if it taste ok.

I have eaten them when they were a very light lavendar color inside with no negative outcomes. It didn't taste any different, but I do believe it was softer.

Okay, I had some coconuts that were purple inside, I had them in the fridge for like 10 days. :o They did not look good to me, there were moldy spots on the bottom, and they just did not seem fresh. So I chucked them. :( I figured this was the "pink" everyone talks about and they were no longer good. They had a purple film on the inside, some just the bottom, and some everywhere, and the water was pink. I really don't think that means they're younger, coconuts have white meat that just firms up and gets thicker as they age, don't they?? :confused:
