I used to rarely eat mature coconut as is, I normally use i in recipes, and recently learned one mature coconut has over 1400 calories, that's about the equivalent of 2 full meals.
Since I discovered this I found raw coconut meat is a great alternative to the potatoes I used to sometimes eat (but get sick [congested/runny nose] each time so I stopped) because they have the same qualites:
-Fast and easy to prepare (plus coconut doesn't need the 1 hour cooking time)
-Taste good
-High calorie, so it's a meal in itself
Now when I want something quick and filling, rather than reaching for a quick cooked meal I break open a coconut, can barely eat half of it and I'm full, and I have the rest as a 2nd quick meal.
Best of all, you get all this for $1.29! It seems almost too good to be true! 2 whole healthy meals for $1.29? With a mature coconut, that becomes reality!
