I thought, coconut milk is made by soaking the white bits of coconut fruit (“flesh”) in water; while the coconuts naturally contain a clear liquid called “coconut juice” or “coconut water”.

But do some coconuts naturally have a milky white liquid inside instead of a clear liquid?

    I’ve never seen that. The water usually has a whiteish hue.

    Young coconut water can be sweet and slightly bubbly, and the fruit is absolutely fantastic, like butter. You can’t experience that without a coconut tree.

      I second that. I haven’t seen coconut with white water and I’ve tried coconut in different countries
