Coconut water

Posted by Kristina on September 25, 2010 at 11:15am in Main Chat
I hate to sound like a walking advertisement here, but that's what I'm going to do: 
I am so stoked: I just found raw, organic young coconutwater in cartons at a health food shop. As I live in Norway, fresh, young, organic coconuts are impossible to come by, and if so, VERY expensive. I bought the entire lot and have asked them to order more. I love this stuff:
- It tastes super yummy.
- One carton (500 mls) contain my daily serving of sodium, which means it's buh-bye to the green juice preparation and clean up (at least 4 days a week) lol.
- It also contains a lot of calcium, magnesium, vitamin B2 and the list goes on. 

(I got the pure coconut water).

THIS is what ultra marathon runners should be drinking during their races. :)

I can't wait to get to Thailand and get a taste of the real thing straight out of a coconut. 

YUM!

    My guess is like the "raw" jared almond butter that is shelf stable for years, this is just as legitimately raw. I've worked for a raw food company and know about the truth to the labels/claims. Even so, I would get it if it was available here as a sports drink.

      I know it's not ideal, but I believe it's the next best thing: Especially when living in Norway. :) This is no rawmagicpotion, but it sure tastes great!

    Unfortunately, not available in US. Looks like EU only.

      That sucks... But in the US it's easier to get FRESH young coconuts, yes? That would be even better!

        Most here have been treated with fungacide.
