Organic Coconuts Don't Matter

Does it matter if it's organic or non-organic? Cuz I can't find non-organic ones.

Coconuts, doesn't matter whether they're organic or not. The only time that they put chemicals around coconuts is if they've got a crop in between the coconuts, they'll be spraying for that crop.

If any pesticides get on the coconut, guess where it goes. They've got a husk on them anywhere from this big to this big, hairy husk underneath that, either green or gold or brown outer hard skin over it. So, in the center is your coconut, so all the poisons stay in those fibers, does not get into the coconut.

I've had at least 7 coconuts, non-organic tested and I couldn't find even a trace amount of toxins in the meat.

You shouldn't waste your money on organic ones then?

Well, I don't know. There might be some traces that are undetectable. You have to understand there's a limit to our science. I could not find what they could find as a trace.

Their trace, that doesn't mean there's not something in it. So, if you can get organic, go for it, but the likelihood of you're having a problem with a non-organic coconut, it would be very difficult. You'll probably lose some nutrients cuz they won't be absorbed, but not likely to harm you.
