Coconut Juice

[neen]

Coconut Juice is truly a godsend and everyone should be incorporating this amazing liquid into their everyday diets

Could you elaborate on that? What benefits does it have?

being one of the few vegetable sources of saturated fat (not that it's a benefit).

 

Other benefits: it tastes good, you can live off it for several weeks if you get stranded on a desert island, a coconut with a straw in it before competitive athletics will definately scare opponents, nothing like a piña colada half-time.

Also usually filled with preservatives, has sugar and/or flavoring added, and carcinogen compounds present from canning. If you consume it fresh, it's much better, but is hardly a necessary component of any diet.

 

Fixed.

Well, coconut oil can be better for cooking than olive oil sometimes, because it kickstarts your metabolism for a little while. That's all I can think of.

...So you joined the forums just to tell us to drink coconut juice?

It's pretty great. Fresh coconut water is a great thing to have instead of a Gatorade or sports drink with your workout.

 

If you don't work out there isn't a lot of reason to eat the coconut juice except for enjoyment. It can be used in some "raw diet" recipies as a thickener or sweetener and give a slight boost to the nutritional profile.

^I'm not saying that it's bad or anything, just that it's kind of a strange thing to post.

 

Really though, the expense, especially if you purchase it sans additives, can be quite prohibitive.

It tastes horrid, to be honest.

Yeah, I don't like it. Especially if you get a rotten coconut, like I did. Next one I bought wasn't rotten, still didn't taste greta tho tbh

I think if I was to endorse a tropical fruit, it'd be pineapple juice. Get your girlfriend/boyfriend to drink it and your relationship will taste better. It also reduces the ability for the blood to coagulate, which has some niche uses. This doesn't relate to your relationship if you're still thinking about that. Also has some vitamin C, but no special amount. It has limited uses, but some of the uses are extremely beneficial. Coconuts.. well I don't see any health benefits alongside them.. interested if anyone can list some though.
