Benefits of Organic Coconut Water
Organic Coconut water provides various health benefits, including re-hydration, a remedy for digestive system disorders and cholera, it is useful for intravenous
hydration, as well as controlling hypertension, lowering cholesterol levels,
and protecting the heart.Coconut trees are considered wonder trees by mankind.Not only the fruit, but the whole palm, is reported to be very useful. Coconuts provide
coconut water and the flesh inside the nut. The water and flesh supply us with
essential nutrients that can keep our stomachs full and give us energy to increase endurance. The scientific name of coconut is Cocos nucifera and it belongs to the Arecaceae or palm family. The fruit or the seed is technically known as a drupe, and it is not a nut, despite the name.
Coconuts are thought to be native to the Indian Malay regions. By the beginning
of the 15th century, coconuts entered Africa and slowly spread to Europe. The
palm generally grows in tropical climates and today it is found in almost all the
tropics in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, ranging from the Hawaiian islands, West
Indies, Jamaica, Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Philippines, to Papua New Guinea.There is evidence of coconuts being used in
India over 3,000 years ago. In India, coconuts are regarded as one of the most
sacred of fruits and they are offered to deities as tokens of gratitude. One of
the names of coconut in Sanskrit is Kalpa-Vriksha meaning an “eternal tree” or
“tree which fulfills all wishes”. That name has been given due to the fact that
coconut palm is such a versatile tree and almost all parts of the tree can be put
to beneficial use.
A coconut closely resembles a rugby ball with roughly three sides. The size is
about 20 to 30 cm long. The drupe is covered with layers of fiber known as coir
and the shell itself is very hard – almost water proof. Coconut water and the
flesh develop inside. Coconut water and coconut flesh are not the only two types
of food obtained from coconuts. Some of the byproducts of coconuts include mature coconut meat, coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut wine, coconut vinegar, and many more.
