Coconut Water

[UserX]

Fuckin' A I'm hooked on this shit. I first tried it drinking it straight from coconuts in VN, been drinking it ever since. It seems to be gaining in popularity here because I see more and more stores carrying it. If only Costco would stock it so I could buy it in bulk.

It quenches my thirst like nothing else, and one serving has as much potassium as two bananas. More electrolytes than Gatorade too. I hear it's real popular with runners now.

Anyone else drink it? You can get it at the Asian stores with pulp in it. It's good too, but I prefer without.

Personal Trainers at work love it. I tried it once and it's not my thing.

Some NFL teams have switched out gatorade for coconut water.

i usually drink a can after jiu jitsu practice. I had it in jamaica and got hooked. Only place I have found it is whole foods and that place gets expensive.

Won't that stuff give you the runs like nobody's business?

I started takeing some to work last week. I keep it on ice so its ice cold. Its smoother tasting for me when its ice cold.

I drink it but I think it taste nasty. It is so good for you though, so I force myself to do it.

That's mostly what I drink on the islands. It works wonders for hangovers. I thought the locals were full of shit, but it's good stuff.

Coconut water != coconut milk.


Coconut water really is like 95% water. It comes from young, green coconuts... no ill effects.
Coconut milk (pressed from a mature coconut, lots of oils) is the one that can make people deuce.



I also don't think I have ever typed coconut so many times.

I drink it all the time, here in Costa Rica they have it everywhere.

I saw that stuff at Kroger a couple weeks ago and almost grabbed a bottle untill I saw the price. It was like $3.50 for small bottle if I remember correct!

I read a report that stated chocolae milke was better for dehydration than any sports drink on the market. strange.

It is the shit, I drink it all the time.

Love that stuff. There's this one philipino brand that is sold at shadier gas stations with little chunks of coconut in it. Little white steel can with green lettering. Lots of calories though if I remember right.
