Swing,

 

They are a bit strange looking, aren't they?? I used to make this awesome

pudding with young coconut and vanilla bean - friends told me that I should have

named it " raw crack " , as they were all furiously licking the bowl at the rawluck

I took it to. :o)

 

I would store it " whole " in an air-tight jar until you're ready to use it, and

from my experience, it is best ground in a coffee mill/grinder or a mini

food-processor. I've not dehydrated it, but I don't know if that would have any

effect on it, as it doesn't seem to contain much water as it is. I'd bet it

would be fine if you ground it up and then stored it in an air-tight container

to use it like a spice. But there's the whole shelf-life factor - I would bet

that shelf-life and flavor are higher if only ground just before use.

 

Just my thoughts, have fun with it!

Would love the recipe! I have a young coconut I've just been hoping

to find something to make out of it.
