SEMI HUSKED COCONUTS

These are fully matured coconuts but while de-husking, the husk is left intact over the “eyes” of the coconut. This is a sensitive area, and by protecting it we can increase the shelf life of the coconut as the area susceptible to decay is protected.

FULLY HUSKED COCONUTS

These are also fully matured coconuts but the husk is removed completely. The shelf life of this variety is little less than the semi husked ones but since there is no husk, handling these coconuts can be done without a mess. These coconuts have to be stored in a cool and dry place.
