Tender Coconut Feedback- Unasked for
Hi all, I thought i should share this feedback. So, it has been very hot in Bangalore and I diligently had tender coconut water for the past two months. The area I live in, the cost of coconuts that happen to be on the road side, is same as the ones we order. So I decided on ordering it and having it patiently at home. Here is my observation: Best platforms- Amazon Fresh and Swiggy( good quantity of water, soft to open and also less or no malai- entire intention was of drinking the water and not having malai) Decent- Zepto( slightly less water but quality is good) Mediocre- Flipkart minutes, country delight, akshaykalpa, firstclub, handpickd( sometimes the coconut is soft, sometimes it is a matured one, no consistency) Worst- Blinkit (matured coconuts only, sometimes delivering rotten ones as well, price also on the higher side) Anyone who finds this observation useful?
