You've probably heard of coconut water, or maybe you've tried it yourself. But did you know that in addition to tasting great, it also has beneficial effects on your health? And do you know the difference between BIO and Organic?
HEALTH FOR THE WHOLE BODY
Coconut water is a source of many minerals. It benefits your heart, helps lower cholesterol, has an effect on skin quality and is also good for weight loss. It is often used to replenish a dehydrated body when suffering from diarrhea, pregnancy or if you suffer from headaches. It is also recommended to drink it before and after a long plane journey, when your body is exposed to specific conditions and gets what is called a workout.
BIO or Organic?
For some, all those healthy food labels can make their heads spin. So what is the difference between Organic and Organic? It's simple - the world's products use the name Organic, while here we use BIO. But both mean the same thing - the product is proven to come from organic farming, which is a key indicator of the quality of any food.
SUPPLEMENT YOUR FOODS AT SPORT
Coconut water has become a firm part of a healthy lifestyle. Not only is it full of vitamins and minerals, but it also contains electrolytes that can rehydrate the body better than ordinary water. Thus, water has the same effects as ionic drinks. It is therefore a great source of fluids whether you are a fitness fan, a cyclist or even a yoga practitioner.
WATER IS NOT MILK
Coconut water is the liquid you find inside a coconut, and the good quality water always comes from young green coconuts - usually harvested between the 5th and 8th month. Coconut milk, on the other hand, is processed from the flesh (called "meat") of a mature coconut that is more than 10 months old and, unlike water, contains a large amount of fat.
HOW TO IDENTIFY GOOD QUALITY COCONUT WATER
Have you ever thought that it is important where the coconuts from which the water is made grew? Just like any other food, coconut water can vary in quality. To ensure that you really get all the health benefits from it, it matters a lot whether the coconuts have been grown in organic farming and can be proven with international quality certificates and, of course, organic certificates. All this information should be stated by the manufacturer on the packaging or be easy to trace.
HOW IT TASTES
If you compare the taste of coconut from South America, Thailand and Vietnam, each will taste different. For example, coconuts from Vietnam are less sweet than Thai ones and have a fresher taste. However, with untested producers, although the ingredients may not state added sugar, it is often actually there for taste. It is therefore ideal to buy water only from verified brands. If you don't like the taste of regular coconut water and you like sweeter options, you'll find a selection in our e-shop. The most popular are the lotus flavour and the fresh novelty milk as a drink. For lovers of pure coconut water, we offer the 100% Pure or 100% ORGANIC.
