I tried coconut water for the first time before I started
down the Paleo track and while I liked it I wasn't willing to shell out $2-3
per drink. Since going Paleo it has increasingly become a staple in my house. This cloudy water may be a little strange at
first drink but once your palate has adjusted to not having so many processed
sugars there a lot of wondrous flavors that emerge. It’s also great for hydration and an excellent
source of electrolytes.
Watch out for added sugar!
There are a couple mainstream coconut waters that taste especially
delicious but that is because they dump in a bunch of sugar. If you haven’t done so check the ingredient
list and avoid those that don’t have the purest ingredients.
For the budget conscious consider getting the Whole Foods
365 Coconut Water. It is about the best
deal you can find, especially if you get the one that looks like it is in a
broth container.
A few days ago I was headed out of the checkout and snagged
a C2O Coconut Water. It was close in
price to the 365 and to my surprise had pulp.
I didn't know what to expect but after checking the ingredients noticed
the pulp was from young coconuts. If you
have ever busted open your own young coconut then you know the meat is soft and
a little slimy but very delicious. I cracked open the can on the way home and to my surprise
the water was packed with pulp. The pulp
was just like little spooned out chunks of a young coconut’s flesh. It was awesome. The water also had a much fresher
flavor like you get when drinking the water directly from a young coconut.
For those of you who have made coconut water a regular item
in your shopping cart or if you just want to try something different grab one
with pulp. You won’t be sorry they are delicious!Coconuts are amazing!
Thanks for stopping by,
Chuck
