White and brown coconuts

I was at the supermarket (again!) and saw these white and brown coconuts. I'd never seen a white coconut before!

I'm going to try again with the rainbow month. I've never been able to fully complete it, but I've always had a lot of fun looking for photos with the appropriate colors. I've always enjoyed seeing others' completed months too! That is really the best part of it for me.

What a great find and shot, I too have never seen white ones before. I wonder where they come from?

Curiosity is my sin - so googled white coconuts and got this:

The meat of the white coconut is considerably more moist and fresh than the meat of the more mature brown husked coconut and often has a floral fragrance. This is the best stage of coconut for cooking.

So the maturity is the cause of the colour change - Thank you for such a cool shot and a new (for me) fact
