Tender coconut, also known as young coconut or green coconut, refers to the immature fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) tree. Unlike mature coconuts, which have hard brown shells and contain firm white flesh and coconut water, tender coconuts have a softer, green outer husk and a thin, jelly-like layer of white meat surrounding a large quantity of sweet, refreshing coconut water.
