Do these coconuts look NATURAL?

The answer is YES they are & SO are these - It’s the fruit you can use in drinks, food, medicine, cocktails, on your skin, in your hair & even as a hangover cure (for those of you who party a bit too hard!) It’s the water that is fast becoming the pure drink of choice of millions around the globe… If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am talking about COCONUT WATER!

Most recently I discovered possibly the best tasting coconut water product  - They are called Coconut Essence. The brand that is fast becoming THE choice of coconut water in Australia.

I first tried out their coconut water when they stocked it in the convenience store below my apartment & being as nuts as I am about finding out which coconut water is best I gave it a go - I saw their can (Which is BPA free and also heavy metal free - So you're not getting any harmful chemicals into your coconut water) & was intrigued when it said 100% pure coconut water. I feel in love with it to say the least.

I looked into the nutritional value of whats offered & this is what it states. I was extremely impressed especially because this product tasted so incredibly great..

THE BENEFITS

There are so many health benefits that coconut water can provide you with. To start with it is full of calcium, magnesium and potassium, it is a pure liquid (the second after water) and is 100% fat free and low in sugar and carbs.

I had a chat with the guys at Coconut Essence & they put together the following information on their product for me;

• Coconut water is a natural isotonic beverage with the same level of electrolyte balance as we have in our blood
• It contains NO fat, NO cholesterol, and NO preservatives.
• It is gluten free and totally unsweetened, coming straight from nature the way it was intended
• Coconut water contains nearly half the sodium of sports drinks and nearly ten times less than energy drinks.
• Coconut water contains almost three times more potassium than most sports and energy drinks
• Coconut water has 5mg of natural sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of altered sugars
• Coconut water is very high in chloride nearly three times that of sports drinks!

WHY I LOVE COCONUT ESSENCE

I love Coconut Essence because it is as natural as it gets, it is so good for you (remember, everything in moderation) and you can mix it with so many different drinks! You can use coconut water in freshly mixed juices or cocktails.

Does Coconut Essence Pasteurize this product?

Yes. Coconut Essence uses a flash pasteurization process. Coconut water is filtered and flash pasteurized at 120 degrees for two seconds before packaging the coconut water in lined cans (As per FDA guidelines, flash pasteurization is mandatory for bottled beverages also). Lined cans stabilize and give coconut water a shelf life of 2 years, allowing CE to keep it 100% natural - no additives, no preservatives and retain all the healthful benefits.

So go out & purchase yourself a can (or two) & share with me what you think on my Twitter or Facebook pages! If you love them be sure to join their Facebook page too!

Warning: You will become addicted to this drink.
