Where it comes from
While a coconut is young and green, there is almost no flesh inside, only water. Later that water turns into the white flesh. That is why the best coconut water comes from young fruit.
What electrolytes are
Minerals such as potassium that your body loses through sweat. Coconut water has them naturally, which is why people often reach for it after sport and in strong heat.
A lighter choice
When you want something tastier than water but without the heaviness of sweet soda, coconut water sits right in the middle: low sugar, low calories and a soft, pleasant taste.
