Coconuts come in all different sizes. When you go to buy one, first look at the three holes in the top to see that they don’t look brown, moldy, or open, and smell them to make sure they smell fresh and not rancid. Second, shake the coconut. You should be able to hear that it has plenty of water inside.

In general, this is what I found that came in coconuts of different weights.
