These coconuts are picked the same day and are shipped to you by USPS Priority Mail straight from the jungles of Hawaii. It typically takes about 4-6 business days to arrive to your door. We have a very limited supply of these fresh organic, wild coconuts so order today.

You will be receiving 4-5 young freshly dehusked coconuts in a flat rate USPS Priority box. The coconuts contain meat and water. These coconuts have never been dipped in any chemicals and do not sit in warehouses for months. Read below why the Tree of Life is no longer using Young "Thai" Coconuts in their kitchen.

These coconuts stay fresh for about 7-10 days after you receive them. If you want to order a few cases and plan to keep them for longer use, we recommend you freeze the coconuts whole or scoop the meat out with water, bottle it and freeze until ready to use. In the freezer these coconuts can keep for many months. When you are ready to order click here to learn how to open young coconuts.

Why we No Longer Use "Thai" Coconuts from the Tree of Life Cafe

While they are a good food, we no longer use the "Thai" Coconuts in our cuisine for the following reasons:

NON-ORGANIC Thai coconuts are not certified organic. Information that they are grown organically may not be true. From articles online it seems that fertilizer & pesticides are used in coconut farming. Therefore we would be supporting a non organic industry and ingesting non organic chemicals. Some companies claim to be organic.

FUNGICIDE DIP. Some coconuts are dipped for 5 minutes in a fungicide solution (such as formaldehyde or sodium metabisulphate) before exporting. This is to eliminate mold and bacteria during the "6-week" shipping process.

IRRADIATION Many feel that they may be irradiated during shipping process.

HYBRIDIZATION & SUGAR The Thai coconuts are said to be cross pollinated with palm tree. This makes them incredibly sweet.

SUSTAINABILITY What is the real impact of importing coconuts from Thailand? Fair trade labor, high food miles and chemical usage.

LABOR Highly labor intensive when opening in a commercial setting. High labor investment for harvesting, shaving, packaging, storage, distribution and shipping.

LOW QUALITY Over 30% are usually rotten. This indicated by a purple colored pulp/ water, black spots and pink on the outer husk.

Benefits of Young Organic Coconuts (compiled by John Kohler)

"It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak." In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers.

Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.
