Coconut water is a fresh and accessible source of hydration for people in the Tropics in places like Southeast Asia, the South Pacific, the Caribbean and South America (Brazil is one of the main suppliers). Having been in Jamaica recently, iced cold coconut water was the best thing to quench my thirst in the hot hot hot tropical sunshine!
Coconut water provides a sweet tasting alternative to water or sugary soft drinks and juices. The taste can vary due to its source. Recently I tried Zico Coconut Water who handpick coconuts from Asia and Indonesia. It is as good as drinking fresh water from the coconut.
Some of the benefits!
- it has only 68 calories!
- zero added sugar, but, although I didnt know this until doing my research pure coconut water contains natural sugars, so there is 15.6g of sugar :(
- contains magnesium great for reducing tiredness
- High in potassium (more than bananas) – may help prevent strokes, heart attacks, dehydration and hangovers.
- Overall it is a tasty alternative to water that has no preservatives, no fat, no cholesterol and fewer calories than your average flavoured waters, fruit juices or smoothies.
Normally £2 a bottle but you can buy half price and delivered on the link below!
