Looking For Young Green Coconuts in Vancouver

Hi All,

Any idea where I can find young green coconuts (like the ones in the attached pic) in the Vancouver area? Would love to know!

Thanks,
SC

    What are you going to use them for? If you're just looking for young coconuts to slice the tops off of (and drink the coco water inside) then an Asian grocery like T&T or Osaka (in Richmond, inside Yaohan mall) should have young coconuts that have been trimmed down to a more manageable size.

    This might be a long shot, but have you tried South China Seas Trading Co. on Granville Island? If you email them, they might be able to order in bulk for you (depending on how many you need).

    (side note: there's also a fair amount of juicy coconut meat inside, just need to scrape it out with a spoon)

      Thanks for the leads! Looking to use them in a marketing program. Need to display full young green coconuts as part of our set-up.
