Eat these delicious beauties raw or cook them if you want - here is a recipe of Thengai-Poo Poriyal - https://www.paticheri.com/2022/08/31/sprouted-coconut-stir-fry/

Sprouted coconuts, also referred to as coconut sprouts, are the edible spherical sponge-like cotyledons of germinating coconuts. They have a crunchy watery texture with a slight sweetness. They are eaten in coconut-growing countries either as it is or as part of various dishes. They are not commercially produced. They are also known variously as coconut pearls, coconut embryos, coconut apples, coconut cotyledons or simply coconembryos or coconapples.

Sprouted coconuts are best suited for raw applications as their crisp and airy flesh is showcased when used fresh. The spongy flesh is commonly sliced and served as a stand-alone snack, and the pieces can be dredged in the layer of coconut oil encased in the shell for added flavor. The flesh can also be cubed and mixed into fruit salads, green salads, lightly dipped in sauces and dressings, or mashed, cooked, and baked.

In the To Live For! recipe book created by Chef Eric Rivkin on www.vivalaraw.org , Rivkin recommends cubing Sprouted coconuts for croutons, slicing and dipping pieces into vegan Swiss fondue, or hollowing the center and using it as an edible bowl for fruit or mango curry. Rivkin also uses the coconut in watermelon cakes and simple desserts such as flan. Sprouted coconuts pair well with fresh vegetables and fruits such as sprouts, cucumbers, carrots, red onions, tomatoes, mango, strawberry, pineapple, and guava, and can also be served with vegan-based meats, chickpeas, tofu, fish, and poultry. The flesh should be consumed immediately for best quality and flavor, and if left unfinished, it should be stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
