Can anybody recommend a place to buy young coconuts? I hear they sell at Asian markets, but am not familiar with any in the area. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! |

There is a Korean market at Nine Mile and Beech in Southfield, and a Japanese market on Lahser just north of 8 Mile also in Southfield, not sure if they have young coconuts, though. What are they used for? I found another market in Southfield: Kagopa Asian MarketAddress: 29307 Southfield Rd Southfield, MI 48076 (248) 559-7370 |

Thanks Gazhekwe, I'll see if they carry them. Young coconuts are used as milk and dairy substitutes in raw food lifestyles. |

I have bought coconut milk in cans at the market on Lahser, but I imagine fresh is a LOT better tasting. |

Yeah, you can get canned coconut milk just about anywhere, but I'm looking for raw and unprocessed young coconuts - not just the juice, but the meat too! |
