A young coconut is a coconut that is harvested before it is fully mature. Young coconuts are also known as tender coconuts, depending on regional preferences, and they are harvested both for their flesh and for the liquid inside, which is known as coconut juice or water. In the tropics, young coconuts are commonly available at markets and stores, and they are also available in urban areas in other regions of the world. When cut open, a young coconut has very tender coconut meat which may still be in a slightly gelatinous form, along with the nutrient-rich coconut water.

Description
Coconut water
coconut juice (but to less extent) is a liquid inside the coconuts. Honestly speaking it is a suspension for endosperms during the nuclear phase of development as far as the coconut is concerned. With time, this endosperm deposits into the rind of the pulp no sooner it develops, accordingly. Interestingly, water inside the young coconuts is more like that inside of a fully grown coconut. And that particular water (from the young coconuts) is sometimes also known as “buko juice”.
