Young coconuts are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage. If unopened, they can last for up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge. Once opened, the coconut water should be consumed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The coconut meat can also be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freezing is not generally recommended as it alters the texture of the meat.
