Fresh Coconut Juice

Nothing is better than fresh coconut juice to start a hot sunny day. When we were in Palaya de coco (beach), there is a coconut vendor near the hotel. He is there everyday. One coconut cost 350 colons (Costa Rican money), less than $1. This is the cheapest I had; the others sell for 550 colons. The juice is really refreshing and subtle in taste. Not like the coconut juice they sell in Canada, because there is no sugar added.

I eat like locals do. After drinking the coconut juice, he opened the coconut for me to dig out the meat. It does not have a particular coconut smell. It taste really subtle as well. The young coconut is very tender and filling.
