Nuts About Coconut Water

Crazy Coconut Facts

If the health benefits weren’t enough, these facts will make you fall for coconuts:

Sterile – The water inside a coconut travels through many fibers before it’s stored inside. It takes almost 9 months for a coconut to filter each liter of water. This means that coconut water is sterile and safe to drink straight from the drupe!

Universal Donor - Did you know in World War II and The Vietnam War coconut water was used intravenously to prolong life when IV solutions were in short supply? It was injected directly to the blood stream to prevent dehydration because coconut water is similar to human plasma. But don’t worry, it’s not like drinking plasma.

I usually grab my coconut water from Whole Foods. If you don’t live by a Whole Foods, any healthy grocery store should carry it. You can buy a small bottle or can for about $2 or a large one for $5. If you haven’t tried, it’s time to give to coconut water a try.

Enjoy!
