Why does it seem like most people hate coconut? Of all the fruits, coconut is the most popular that people love to hate.
If you hate coconut, please tell me why. I'm real curious.
Thanks :)

It seems I always encounter people who hate the flavor. Example: When a box of candy is passed around, it's always the ones with the coconut in them that are thrown out.

Because it always gets stuck in your teeth and it's hard to swallow. That's why I don't like it.

I don't like to eat the coconut as it is as it is a little tough but I absolutely love it grated and used for various soup recipes etc. I love it on cookies and in cakes too. I use it quite a lot . You can make good fresh coconut milk from the white flesh part ( for soups) by grating it and soaking it in water , then extracting the juices.

I don't exactly hate coconut, but I dislike it a lot. I recently found out that I'm allergic to the oils in the coconut meat. If I eat one piece of cake with shredded coconut in it, I will get terribly sick.

I actually enjoy coconut. My wife hates it. I think it has a lot to do with the texture. Also, coconut is somewhat rare. It's not always something you find on a buffet or menu. It's a rarity kind of like caviar. It's not something that is universally eaten.

Some folks don't like it because it get stuck between their teeth.
I only like fresh coconut, I especially like the coconut candy from Juarez, Mexico that is made from fresh coconut, it's really yummy.

I hate coconut the favor the texture the feeling everything. The texture is because it sticks in my teeth along with Pecans and Walnuts. I hate anything that sticks in my teeth.

I think it might be a texture thing.I know people that wont eat nuts in sweets because they feel its like eating meat; they consider coconut a nut.

I love the juice but hate the flesh. It's filled with fats and makes me sick. It's the bad fat too so I can't digest it properly. In Cooking it tends to be dry and I hate it's texture.
