Coconut (Cocos nucifera)

Buying a coconut

Check carefully for any cracks. If it is cracked at all then don't buy it as it might well be bad.
Shake it gently to check that there is some coconut milk in it. The more milk the better.
Compare coconuts for weight. For two coconuts of about the same size, the heavier one is likely to be better.
When you come to use the coconut, the milk should smell sweet and pleasant. If it doesn't then the coconut is probably bad.
