Taste Profile:

This rare and delightful treat offers a subtle sweetness with a hint of nuttiness, making it a perfect snack or an exotic ingredient for your favorite recipes.
Growing Conditions:
Our sprouted coconuts are nurtured in optimal tropical conditions, ensuring they are healthy and ready to thrive. They require warm temperatures, high humidity, and plenty of sunlight to grow. By mimicking these conditions, you can successfully cultivate your own coconut palm, even in a container.
Container Growing Instructions:
1. Choose the Right Container: Select a large container with good drainage, at least 18 inches in diameter and depth, to accommodate the growing roots.
2. Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining potting mix with a blend of sand, peat, and perlite to replicate the coconut's natural environment.
3. Planting: Place the sprouted coconut in the container, ensuring the sprout is above the soil surface. Fill the container with soil, leaving about an inch from the top.
4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out.
5. Sunlight: Position the container in a sunny spot where the plant can receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
6. Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a warm environment (70-85°F) and high humidity. You can mist the plant regularly to increase humidity levels.
7. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 2-3 months to support healthy growth.
Harvesting the Coconut Pearl/Apple:
1. Opening the Coconut: Carefully crack open the sprouted coconut using a hammer or a heavy knife. Tap around the middle until it splits open.
2. Extracting the Pearl: Inside, you'll find the coconut pearl/apple, a soft, spongy mass. Gently scoop it out with a spoon or your hands.
3. Enjoying the Treat: Rinse the coconut pearl under cool water to remove any remaining shell fragments. Slice it into pieces and enjoy it fresh, or incorporate it into your favorite dishes for a tropical twist.
