Coconut water is sweet, increasing semen, promoting digestion, and clearing the urinary path. It is the liquid found inside a fresh coconut. This liquid is not the same as coconut milk in contrary with the popular belief. Coconut milk is completely different from coconut water.
The water inside coconuts in a sense is tree sap. It is relatively clear liquid that looks more like water than it does milk. In addition to natural sugars, it contains a composite array of vitamins and minerals, which makes it a healthy beverage. Coconut water is high in potassium, chlorides, calcium, and magnesium, with a modest amount of sodium, sugar, and protein. It is essentially fat-free. While the mineral substance remains practically constant, the sugar and protein concentrations increase as the nut matures.
The water from coconuts contain a variety of nutrients as well as trace minerals which come directly from the sea and which mainly other foods not have. Coconut palms grow abundantly throughout most of the tropics. Even the smallest islands are covered with palms littering the ground with fallen nuts. All that is needed to satisfy one's thirst is to reach for the nearest coconut. On several small islands, coconut water is the only portable water available. That's why coconut water is called the "fluid of life" since it has been a lifesaver for many people.
The taste varies depending on the maturity of the coconut. The water from green (immature) coconuts is regarded as the best in taste and quality. The water from mature coconut is not as good as the immature ones. Unluckily, except you live where coconuts are grown, it is not easy to get green coconuts. The demand for a natural sports drink has led to the commercial packaging of young coconut water. It is now available in many locations in bottled and tetra pack containers.
