If you ever get tempted to try some Agua de Coco, or Coconut Water...take some advice from your good buddy Wbobth. DON'T!!!!!
I had been intrigued for weeks by seeing the cans of coconut water on the shelves of the Hispanic section of the supermarket. Finally I gave in to the temptation, and bought myself a can of Coconut Water, which I assume that people actually drink as a beverage for enjoyment.
Some of the main ingredients are:
Young coconut juice
Sugar
Young coconut pulp
Not knowing what to expect, I poured myself a glass.
It looked like when the kids eat some white bread, then decide to take a sip of my water. Or it looks like when you leave milk in a glass too long, let it solidify, then pour hot water on it in an attempt to loosen the congealed milk on the bottom of the glass.
Anyway, strike one for Agua de Coco for looking nasty.
Strike two for Agua de Coco for being horrifically nasty. The kids actually took a sip before I did, but I was not persuaded by the nasty face they made since anything new they try is automatically nasty.
The flavor is not quite coconutty, but like nothing I can describe.
The only thing I can recommend is for you to buy a can of Agua de Coco yourself just after I told you not to.

I've never been a fan of coconuts, but I've been experimenting with recipes involving coconut milk. So, I'm intrigued by the water also. Here are a few interesting facts about coconut water.
* Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol!
* Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice - Much lower calories
* Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk- It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk
* Coconut water is naturally sterile -- Water permeates though the filtering husk!
* Coconut water is a universal donor-- Its identical to human blook plasma
* Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood.
* Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.
YES - it's identical to human blood plasma!!!
sounds like there's nothing wrong with the coconut water ... just something wrong with the way you ingested it. Sounds like the trick is to shoot it directly into your viens to bypass those pesky tastebuds!!!
haven't you heard? It's all the rage among the young folks nowadays...shooting coconut water.
