Young Coconut Meat

Young Coconut Meat is the soft, creamy flesh found inside young (green) coconuts and is commonly used across Southeast Asian and tropical cuisines in desserts, smoothies, salads and as a fresh snack. It has a rich, coconutty texture and is prized for its mild, slightly sweet flavor. Nutritionally, Young Coconut Meat is relatively energy-dense and provides 5g of fat per 100g, much of which is saturated fat; it also supplies modest fiber and small amounts of protein, along with trace minerals such as manganese, copper and selenium. In practical terms, it can add creaminess and satiety to dishes, but because of its high fat content you may prefer lower‑fat creamy alternatives for everyday use; it remains a useful ingredient for occasional tropical desserts and smoothies.
