Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 ,  Please make sure the fresh coconut you bought are non-irradiated. USDA /FDA requires imported shipments of fresh coconut be irradiated. If you ask, the store personnel, they don't know because they only get from middlemen. One way of knowing is that the juice has a " toasty " taste.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 But , if the FDA requires fresh imported coconut to be irridated, how can you get fresh non-irridated coconut? The ones I eat don't taste toasty, however. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Don't they grow and bear nuts in mainland US like Florida? I know Hawaii has them, but again, am not sure if they are irradiated when they enter mainland US.  I don't buy anymore. I used to, but after the toasty taste, i stopped.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
