Re: Young coconut water vs mature coconut water

[Guest guest]

When I was a child and the coconut trees around our house were not that tall, I

used to climb some of the trees to get young coconuts to treat classmate guests

and friends (at that time and place, a kid who could not climb a coconut tree is

a lesser kid, whatever is the economic status :-)). I liked so much the young

coconut water because it is sweet (now I know it has 5 to 5.5% sugar content).

Now, I am in my late forties, I prefer the mature coconut water because it has

much lesser sugar (about 2.5% only), it is less acidic with pH of about 5.5 to

6.5 (young coconut water is more acidic at pH of about 5), and the minerals and

vitamins are more or less similar in totality (the young one have more of some

but less of the others and vice versa). Some analysis of coconut water is also

available in this link www.coconutboard.nic.in/tendnutr.htm.

forget, the coconut water that is best to drink

is from YOUNG coconuts. The lauric acid as i said is

in the oil and in the coconut milk. The coconut milk

where the oil is also derived from comes from VERY

MATURE coconuts. What i am trying to say, is that the

lauric acid comes around as the nut matures.
