Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for young (immature, green or water) coconuts, including trimmed and shaped film-wrapped nuts; storage life is for wrapped, shaped fruit. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Humidity

90-95%

Shelf Life

3-4 weeks

Packaging

Whole coconuts can be stored at ambient temperatures in well-ventilated conditions. Packaged coconut water must be refrigerated.

Trimmed or shaped young coconuts brown quickly unless sulfite-treated and sour faster than nuts with husk, which keep longer; their green skins also brown when held at very low temperature. Highest freezing point: -3°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
