Coconut Water
Nutrition Information
Here is some information about
Coconut Water:
"It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of
electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of
life, so to speak." In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both
sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned
directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to
wounded soldiers.
Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas
- once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its
organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.

A LITTLE MORE COCONUT HISTORY
The English name coconut, first mentioned in English print in 1555,
comes from Spanish and Portugese word coco, which means "monkey
face." Spanish and Portugese explorers found a resemblance to a
monkey's face in the three round indented markings or "eyes" found
at the base of the coconut. On the Nicobar Islands of the Indian
Ocean, whole coconuts were used as currency for the purchase of
goods until the early part of the twentieth century.
Coconuts are the fruit of the coconut palm, botanically known as
cocos nucifera, with nucifera meaning "nut-bearing." The
fruit-bearing palms are native to Malaysia, Polynesia and southern
Asia, and are now also prolific in South America, India, the Pacific
Islands, Hawaii and Florida. The light, fibrous husk allowed it to
easily drift on the oceans to other areas to propagate. In Sanskrit,
the coconut palm is known as kalpa vriksha, meaning "tree which
gives all that is necessary for living," since nearly all parts of
the tree can be used in some manner or another. The coconut itself
has many food uses, including milk, meat, sugar and oil as well as
functioning as its own dish and cup. The husk was also burned for
fuel by natives, but today a seed fibre called coir is taken from
the husk and used to make brushes, mats, fishnets, and rope. A very
potent fermented toddy or drink is also made from the coconut palm's
sap. Coconut oil, a saturated fat made from dried coconut meat, is
used for commercial frying and in candies and margarines, as well as
in non-edible products such as soaps and cosmetics.
Although it takes up to a year for coconuts to mature, the trees
bloom up to thirteen times a year, so fruit is constantly forming
yielding a continuous harvest year-round. An average harvest from
one tree runs about 60 coconuts, with some trees yielding three
times that amount. The coconut's name is a bit of a misnomer, since
it is botanically classified as a drupe and not a nut. It is the
largest seed known.
If you've ever opened a fresh coconut, you will have seen the thin,
opaque almost clear coconut juice or water which has a slight almond
flavor. Contrary to popular belief, this is not the coconut milk.
However, the water is consumed as a drink fresh from the coconut by
many, and it can also be used in recipes. |
