Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 4 Super User Share Posted March 4 summer is coming...(fingers crossed). hot days fishing, dehydrating myself. I once went on a 10 day backpack trip. I put 6 big cans of coconut water into an ice chest and parked the truck. when we came out, I pulled the chest out and I could still hear some ice sloshing around. I handed out the cans to the fellas and PHOOSH! everyone belted one back. there were five of us, so I drank two. it was refreshing, but it actually rehydrated us. well, it got us started on the process quick. now that is the first thing I do when I come back from fishing. slam a glass. plecebo? maybe. but it tastes great. now it seems to be everywhere. I bet some phillipine coconut farmer is driving around in a Ferrari. it has taken off and gotten very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen their ASVAP scores? The best thing to hydrate is water. Coconut water has a marketing campaign, and folks are sheep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolFan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 While I prefer well water straight from the hose, I do like the unpasteurized version of coconut water. The canned versions vary widely from decent to utterly unpalatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throttleplate Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Is bottled coconut water as good as fresh? If it is taken out of the coconut and packaged for retail it isnt real 100% coconut water. You are being scammed by corporate america. Once a coconut is cracked open it begins to oxidise and is open to bacteria. Pasteurisation removes this potential bacteria, but unfortunately also kills off the nutrients and electrolytes that can only be obtained from fresh, raw coconut water. I drank alot of fresh coconut water in the philippines, they call it buko juice, buko means young coconut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canned versions vary widely from decent to utterly unpalatable. Indeed. So true. They are not equal. I’ve been drinking coconut water since I was able to climb coconut trees to pick them and de-husk them and then crack the shell in a way that you don’t lose the juice. Drinking coconut juice is nothing new. What’s even better than drinking the juice is eating the sweet flesh of a young coconut. Everything you see in desserts and such is the hard, mature, coconut flesh. Yes, it is still good, but it doesn’t hold a candle to young coconut flesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
