Coconut water is a clear liquid with what

for their flesh, oil, and milk, coconut water
has long been a prevalent staple.
In Central America, coconut water is called “agua de pipa” or “water pipe.” Coconut water,
a nutritious, natural drink, is one of the highest sources of electrolytes known to man.
Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young coconuts (fruits of the coconut palm).

Coconut water provides essential nutrients
