How to find Cotton Candy Coconuts?!


Question: How to find Cotton Candy Coconuts?
I saw on Man & Woman vs. Wild yesterday a Cotton Candy Coconut. They were on a tropical island and found one and it looked absolutely delicious! He opened it up and in the center was a big ball of white stuff that she said was the same consistency of cotton candy. I just did a search to see if I could buy it online and came up with zero results. I'm also interested in trying a chocolate pod or Cacao Pod and am wondering if that can be bought online as well.
If you know anything about this would you please help me so I can buy it and try it out?
Thanks!

The "Cotton Candy Coconut" is called a "Yu." http://www.instructables.com/id/Yu/ There's info on how to turn a normal coconut into a Yu.

The cotton candy is found when a coconut is starting to turn into a palm tree. What u need is a fresh coconut from the palm tree and let it sit for a few weeks then u should see a leaf come out of the coconut that tells u it is starting to make a cotton candy. The longer u wait the bigger it gets and the more of the coco juice it sucks out. And ur right it is very tasty and more u wait the less sweet it gets.

You can purchase a cacao seedling to grow your own cacao plant on ebay.
