COCONUT WATER

[Ljs]

After intense experience since last year drinking this stuff...the research I have done ....YEHA ...my very diabetic father is on his 1st litre today after much persuasion.....electrolytes........greatest juice water to ever drink....well in UK......

I wouldn't drink that stuff - too much sugar.

I wouldn't say it is high - about 6g per cup and 2g fibre with a lot of vit c, calcium, b vits (not b12) and potassium. That is about the same sugars as eating 100g of the flesh.

 

[rowan]

All the ones I've looked at are between 5-9g carbs per 100ml which is too high for me.

 

[NoCrbs4Me]

A litre has more sugar than I consume in a month. And twice as much carbs as I consume in a day.

 

[andcol]

lol seeing as a cocnut has about a third of a cup why would you drink a litre? That is like saying I am not going to eat lettuce because 10 of them has more carbs than I eat in a day

Pure coconut water ..yes sometimes I hsve a glass ...if is fine for me , not a litre ...
There is no sugar at all in most ....no added sugar ...

I wouldn't, but the OP said "my very diabetic father is on his 1st litre today after much persuasion".

 

[andcol]

not sure that means he is going to drink it all in a day - well I hope not.

 

[Kat100]

I read it as you buy it in a litre carton

On the other hand Koko Dairy Free Coconut Fresh Milk Alternative has only 2.4 carbs in 100ml and is a very nice drink

Oh well, back to the lactofree milk then

There quite a few coconut water drinks avaliable now , including the no sugar ones in the Asian super markets ...

I live right out in the sticks and no Asian shops anywhere near. A shame because I used to love shopping in them!
