Here we see an excellent example of the full cycle of coconuts on a single coconut palm tree. To you see the small coconuts and at the very lowest section of the coconuts you see several brown coconuts. Brown outside, completely dried - the coconut now is really ripe and sweet to eat or drink. However most drinking coconuts are harvested a few weeks earlier while the coconut meat still is soft but more of the coconut juice is available.
Ripe coconuts often are only half filled with juice but much sweeter and richer in flavor.
