Coconut water

[AnnieC]

Just wondered if anyone here does drink coconut water. It is supposed to be the latest health drink and ok for those with diabetes

I've had some as a salt replenisher after exercise - doesn't seem to have any negative effect on me. Not as tasty as coconut milk though.

So is it ok to drink coconut milk then I use it in cooking but have never thought of drinking it

I have the occasional small glass of the Alpro original coconut milk, which is 2.7g carbs and 20 kcal per 100 ml.

I understand it is bad for cholestrol. But as long as you don't overdo it, who cares?

they mean the clearish water inside the coconut, not the milk/cream that is obtained from the meat
but with the milk or cream, as well as using it as a topping for fruit, if put some gelatin/jello in it and make a desert by it's self

It seems to be relatively low in carbs so I guess that makes it alright but I see no particular reason to pick it over water either

I'm not a fan of coconut water. To me, it's rather nothing-ish.

Anyone who wants them can have the coconuts ripening on our trees at the moment.





Of course, you'd have to come and get them. It's only a 9000 mile round trip.

Iike coconut water as an electrolyte replacing drink after exercise. Usually the exercise of my wrist in a pub.

Coconut water or coconut milk?

I did mean the water thats inside the shell not the coconut milk but am interested if anyone drinks that as well

Yes I have both, but not direct from the coconut unfortunately!
