Default baby coconuts?

Has anyone seen baby coconuts? I saw a little blurb on them in passing, I think
it was the Today Show. Apparently they can be eaten without removing the skin
(it hasn't got a shell yet at this stage) in one bite! I have no idea where to
get some. I live in Boston. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you referring to REAL baby coconuts or a nut that LOOKS and
tastes like a baby coconut? If the latter, "coquito nuts" have
been available in the Frieda's section of various supermarkets for
years. I KNOW Stop & Shop has them in the western 'burbs.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for the lead. What's the Frieda's section?

I actually have no idea if I'm looking for real baby coconuts (I thought I was,
now I'm not sure) or coquito nuts. I didn't even know coquito nuts existed. Are
they canned or bagged or fresh??

Thanks.
Jen
