Drink coconut

Image you are on a tropical island, sitting under a palm tree, while enjoying a coconut. Delicious! It might be hard to imagine, but with our young coconut, it becomes a little easier. Try it yourself, close your eyes, take a sip of this exquisite exotic and… dream away!  

Young coconuts are hand-picked coconuts harvested as young fruit, full of fresh coconut water. This exotic species has a creamy colour and may have some brown spots. Given their exotic appearance, young coconuts make any occasion a party. Especially on hot days, it is a delicious thirst quencher. 

Coconut water is not the same as coconut milk. In fact, coconut milk is made from the flesh of the hairy coconut. Coconut water is the liquid from the inside of the coconut.

ORIGIN

Originally, coconut comes from India and South America. Our young coconuts come from Asia, specifically Vietnam and Thailand. 

TASTE

Coconut water from young coconuts is deliciously refreshing and very low in calories. The flavour of coconut water can vary depending on several factors, including the coconut tree variety. In general, the taste is described as slightly sweet and mildly nutty, with a subtle tropical undertone. 

   

USE AND PREPARATION

The husk of the coconut is very strong. Drill a hole in the top and drink with a straw. Or chop off the pointed top with a large and sharp kitchen knife (watch your fingers!). There are also specialised coconut drills available to make opening a breeze. 

Young coconuts are primarily meant for drinking, containing minimal coconut meat but an abundance of revitalising coconut water. Enjoy the water as a thirst-quencher or use it to craft delicious cocktails and refreshing popsicles - perfect companions for hot summer days! 

STORAGE ADVICE

Always store a young coconut in the fridge. Ideally, the temperature should be between 2 and 7 ºC. 

EXOTIC TIP!

You can use coconut water as a natural sports drink to replenish vitamin and minerals, especially after vigorous physical activity.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOUNG COCONUT

Drinking coconut water is wonderfully refreshing and very low in calories. Coconut water is not only packed with fibre, but also contains all kinds of important nutrients including electrolytes, potassium, magnesium and vitamin C. A naturally refreshing thirst quencher!
