What is Coconut Water?

Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside green, immature coconuts. Young coconuts are favoured for their water as it is tastier, more plentiful in volume and easier to access. Varieties of coconut yield slightly different-tasting water, depending on where they are grown.

Coconut water also differs in taste and nutrition to coconut milk and oil, both of which are made from the flesh of the coconut.
