Coconut, how much to eat?

[xclusiv8]

I bought a fresh coconut today. I just cracked it open after extracting the milk. Ive already eaten some of it. Couldn't resist the delicious meat. My question is how much is to much? I understand coconuts are really fatty. Also how can i store coconut meat? Refrigerator?

Thanx

I'd wrap it up and store it in fridge. You should store all nuts in fridge. As for volume I'd guess a small handfull.

For convenience I buy freeze dried coconut slices. Not the sugar coated coconut they sell on baking isle, they spray sugar on that junk. I find it in produce section of better supermarkets.

I buy a whole coconut break it(drink the milk)  then cut the meat up in chunks and keep in the fridge and eat a piece most days for a snack.

I never thought of coconut that way - good to know! I have just had coconut water and coconut milk from the stores.

Can you dehydrate coconut like you can other fruits?
