The coconut grows and reaches maturity over approximately 11 to 12 months. Throughout this time, people may harvest the coconuts for various uses. For example, coconuts grown for drinking are ready after about 7 months. Immature fruits also have a softer meat, which is suitable for eating or using in recipes.
The coconut should be fully ripe at 12 months after fruits emerge. Meat harvested at this stage is often dried to a form known as copra, which is squeezed to extract coconut oil. Coconuts are often harvested a month or two before they fully ripen, when the nut meat is still soft and can be scooped with a spoon.
