 Coconut Water Information
Compilied by John Kohler

The English name coconut, first mentioned in English print in 1555, comes from Spanish and Portugese word coco, which
means ‘monkey face.’ Spanish and Portugese explorers found a
resemblance to a monkey’s face in the three round indented markings or
‘eyes’ found at the base of the coconut. On the Nicobar Islands of the
Indian Ocean , whole coconuts were used as currency for the purchace of
goods until the early part of the twentieth century.

Coconuts
are the fruit of the coconut palm, botanically known as cocos nucifera,
with nucifera meaning ‘nut-bearing.’ The fruit-bearing palms are native
to Malaysia , Polynesia and southern Asia, and are now also prolific in
South America , India , the Pacific Islands , Hawaii and Florida . The
light, fibrous husk allowed it to easily drift on the oceans to other
areas to propagate. In Sanskrit, the coconut palm is known as kalpa vriksha,
meaning ‘tree which gives all that is necessary for living,’ since
nearly all parts of the tree can be used in some manner or another. The
coconut itself has many food uses, including milk, meat, sugar and oil
as well as functioning as its own dish and cup. The husk was also
burned for fuel by natives, but today a s! eed fibre called coir
is taken from the husk and used to make brushes, mats, fishnets, and
rope. A very potent fermented toddy or drink is also made from the
coconut palm’s sap. Coconut oil,
a saturated fat made fro! m dried coconut meat, is used for commercial
frying and in candies and margarines, as well as in non-edible products
such as soaps and cosmetics.

Although it takes up to a year
for coconuts to mature, the trees bloom up to thirteen times a year, so
fruit is constantly forming yielding a continuous harvest year-round.
An average harvest from one tree runs about 60 coconuts, with some
trees yielding three times that amount. The coconut’s name is a bit of
a misnomer, since it is botanically classified as a drupe and not a
nut.. It is the largest seed known.

If
you’ve ever opened a fresh coconut, you will have seen the thin, opaque
almost clear coconut juice or water which has a slight almond flavor.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not
the coconut milk. However, the water is consumed as a drink fresh from
the coconut by many, and it can also be used in recipes.

Here is some information about Coconut Water

It’s
a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic
balance as we have in ! our blood. It’s the fluid of life, so to
speak.’ In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the
conflict regularly used coconut water – siphoned directly from the nut
– to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers.

Most
coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas – once
exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and
nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.

  1. Surely God’s gift to mankind, but as always mankind has a way of messing things up.

    Remember too much of a good thing will do us in. Heard that drinking the juice too frequently can lead to “soft/weak” legs??

  2. Hi Ronald,

    I agree with you that fresh coconuts benefits health that you have mentioned above, I have also heard that when a child is running a fever/high fever, you may use fresh coconut water to bath him, fever will come down to its normal body temperature.

    Thanks for your tips on that.

  3. Hi all,

    Benefits of coconut oil and coconut milk

    If you love laksa, nasi lemak and all foods with that rich, lemak (fatty) taste of coconut milk, here’s great news: Coconut milk – along with the coconut oil it contains – is actually very healthy.

    It boosts immunity, kills bacteria and viruses, protects against cancer and other degenerative diseases, prevents osteoporosis by promoting calcium absorption, slows down ageing and improves the complexion. It even helps weight loss!
