I went to H-mart (Korean Supermarket in US), and we decided to try out a white coconut. There were brown ones next to them, but we wanted to try the white ones.
So I come home, and, it turns out, no one knows about the very existence of white coconuts. I have not been able to find a single picture, or a single description of these white coconuts. Google is not my friend in this case.
Is the picture on this page closer to what you mean? I remember a store near me selling white coconuts at one point, and they looked like that.
As far as I know, white coconuts are just young coconuts that are harvested before they're considered mature (which is when they turn brown). Their flesh tends to be softer and they contain slightly more liquid than a mature coconut, but not as much as very young coconuts (which are packaged similar to the picture you linked).
To be fair, maybe she was looking for a bit more information on a white coconut rather than just a picture. The page I linked has information about coconuts in general, but not why some are white when harvested.
It also depends on how you're searching. Without the quotes, Google brings up nothing but recipes for cakes and cookies. With the quotes, you still have to sort through uninformative links, euphemisms, and random garbage.
Using Google Image Search isn't much better. The only photos are those that Equinox already linked to, or unrelated images.
Sometimes it's just less hassle to ask someone who may already know.
But in any case, I found another photo for you, Equinox. Lots of coconuts.
i have been wanting a coconut for quite some time, so i decided to go to my local h-mart to pick 1 up. when i get there i see two choices, white and brown (fig. 1), just as equinox saw. so i wonder which one i should get, and pull out my phone to look up the differences. i search 'white coconut,' and dfans is apparently the 3rd result google returns me. hmmmmm....
Fig. 1: its a small world
btw it wasnt that good. and took a hell of a lot of work getting into.

And, I am NOT talking about these: http://www.healthydude.com/Resources/thai_coconutsa.jpg
What is up with them? Are they bleached or something??? They are the same exact thing as brown coconuts except with the grayish fiber thing... o.O

Hahahhaahahahh I'll go show them it does exist.
"But the white coconut DOES exist! Its real I tell you, REAL!"
That's the first link if you use Google and look for "white coconuts"...
At least it was for me...
They look good...
Heh...
Heh, you're quite welcome.

So I wouldn't advise eating them, unless you like tripping balls.

White coconuts are just coconuts taken early. They are grown in the same manner... lol
Tastes good, btw.

But, in all seriousness, I love coconuts. I've tried both kinds but I definitely prefer mature ones.
/I was in Mexico for two weeks one spring and my family bought like ten. Good stuff, the milk is good for cakes and shit.
I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
