Wholesaler for Fresh Young Coconuts

[Guest guest]

In DC, you can find cases of young coconuts, both the green and

white ones, at the wholesale market near Florida Avenue and New York

Avenue. The place I buy them is called Sam Wang's, 300 Morse St NE

#A, Washington, DC; phone: (202) 544-5162. See maps. for

directions, since this place is tucked back in a warehouse district.

 

You can get cases of green coconuts (which are older than the Thai

coconuts), maybe 15 in a box, for around $15, and cases of nine

white (Thai) coconuts for around $12 now. The price seems to vary

from day to day. When you walk in the door, go to the counter to

the right and place your order, pay, and then take your slip outside

to the guy filling orders. They'll bring it out from the back, and

if you need help, take it to your vehicle. Parking is a trip, as is

getting in and out of the parking lot.

 

Also inside the warehouse is a chiller room full of produce from

around the world, which is pretty interesting. It's targeted to

consumers, and the prices are really reasonable. The lines can get

long, and there are no prices marked on anything. Nothing is

labelled organic.
