Peeling away the husk exposes the hard inner "shell" which contains the "meat" or "kernel" and the "coconut water". To answer your question above...if the coconut is left on the tree until it ripens and "dry"...turning brown and shrivel looking... the fruit inside and, the water will more than likely be much sweeter than when picked fresh/green. Leaving the coconut out in the sun after it has been harvested, green, will not make it any "sweeter". It can also go bad..rancid! The “outer shell” is called the husk…it is not a shell.

To get the milk from the coconut, the white kernel inside the shekk has to be taken out, grated, and plain water added to it. It is then mixed and squeezedthrough cloth or a strainer. The white liquid is the milk form the coconut. Ok? When a coconut is cut, the liquid that is inside is ” water”, coconut water.
