The treatment of young cocos have been a big mystery. You'll hear or read that they've been dipped in chemicals or boiled. Some people think the chemicals get through the husk into the meat and water while others don't.

Personal experience - I never had a bad reaction or off taste from a young coco, so to each his and her own.

The treatment is necessary as they can get very moldy - it's the only way to keep them from going bad or else we'd never get them.

You can get organic young cocos, you just have to look around, try google, ask your local co-op, etc.
