Cocos
This coconut (Maphrao Nam Hom), a relatively new variety I believe, has been developed specially to be eaten when it is still green. It's juice and young tender meat have a certain fragrance lacking in the old variety and are also sweeter. My landlady, pours the water from the freshly cut coconut into a container, scoops out the young flesh, adds them together and puts it in the fridge for half an hour before eating it. Delicious and refreshing!
Tender coconut water also has amazing medicinal properties - http://coconutboard.nic.in/tendnutr.htm
