USA Juicing Coconuts – Organic (Water & Meat)
Gopal Farm Juicing Coconuts are:
- Ideal For juicing companies/juice shops
- Need a machete or Coconut opening machine
-
Harvested at peak freshness so have most electrolytes, nutrients, and taste
-
Grown in the USA
-
Certified USDA Organic
-
Grown using agroforestry regenerative methods to enhance biodiversity and store carbon
-
Whole, so no oxidation
Yield:
-
8-10 oz (approx.) of Organic Coconut Water &
-
8-10 oz (approx.) of Organic Coconut Meat
It is equivalent to the cost of a similar quantity of pasteurized packaged Organic coconut water & Organic Coconut Chunks harvested and packed months earlier.
- Weight approx. 7 lbs.
- Size: 8"x10" (ave)
-
Harvested Fresh but are mature, so they need to be opened with machete or Coconut opener machines.
Many of our trees are green Malay coconut and a few orange Malay varieties with a refreshing sweet taste.
With numerous health benefits and a great taste, it is no wonder that so many people enjoy bottled coconut water. But the Packaging process:
-
loses the nutrition and taste due to oxidation
-
loses the good bacteria, nutrients, and electrolytes by pasteurization
-
adds sugar
-
adds artificial flavors
- it's expensive
So Nature's fresh fruit is the best.
Even the ubiquitous "Thai Coconuts" are not the best option as:
-
They are harvested 2-3 months earlier, often before maturing; hence the peak nutrients and taste are missing
-
They are peeled (for lower cost of transportation and ease of opening by consumers) - but then they oxidize through the peeled hard shell. To reduce oxidation and conserve moisture, these "Thai Coconuts" are often plastic wrapped.

-
Each "Thai coconut" expends valuable carbon due to traveling from the other side of the world
-
large monoculture coconut plantations emit much carbon, and old-growth forests (that store carbon) are often destroyed to make way for these plantations.
-
often they are not organically grown or ethically harvested with child (or even monkey) harvesters, an issue
The ideal would be to have a coconut from your backyard - but that is a paradise few have in North America. The next best would be to have USA-grown Juicing Coconuts grown.
Our Pine Island, FL Farm is possibly the largest Coconut farm in the USA, and we have pioneered large-scale coconut farming in the USA. We are the only Certified Organic Coconut farm in mainland USA.
Many people find that the Tender Whole Coconut :
-
is too difficult to open
-
is too heavy and unwieldy to carry around
Once they are older, the inside shell starts hardening, making it difficult to open easily with a small knife or with this Brazilian tool. Then you would need a machete, a large knife, or even a drill to get to the sweet water.
