Nothing is more beneficial for our bodies then raw coconut water. Coconut water is great to keep us hydrated during hot summer days and coconut meat is great for cooking and baking. I use coconuts in my raw desserts, cakes, smoothies, ice cream. I love love love coconut flavor, how about you?
Coconut water is full of natural electrolytes. It’s the best drink for summer. Coconut water is low fat, has very little carbohydrates, and is law in calories, and has significant electrolyte content. Natural electrolytes in coconut water have great amounts of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. When heated looses many of the valuable electrolytes. That is why you should drink raw, unpasteurized coconut water. Raw coconut water has many health benefits. Great for flu, cold, sun poison, stomach viruses, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, allergies.
