Color: Green, yellow-green, or orange-brown on the outer husk, depending on variety. Some slight reddish hues on top might be acceptable.
Weight: A good weight-to-size ratio is preferred. Generally, a tender coconut should feel heavy for its size, indicating a good amount of water content. Weight can range from 1-2.5 kg (2.2-5.5 lbs).
Water: Sweet and refreshing taste, free from off-flavors or fermentation.
Flesh: Tender and jelly-like, with a pleasant coconut flavor.
Surface: The husk should be smooth and free from cracks, blemishes, or excessive mold.
