kelapa tua

Kelapa tua" is the term for a mature coconut in Indonesian. It refers to a fully ripened coconut, which typically has a brown, hard outer shell, as opposed to the younger, green coconuts. The flesh of the kelapa tua is thicker, drier, and more fibrous, and is often used to make coconut milk, shredded coconut, and various other products. The water inside the mature coconut is usually less abundant and not as sweet as the water in a younger coconut.
