Taste of Vietnamese Coconut
Coconut water or coconut juice (or milk) is a popular sweet drink among Vietnamese and apparently it has been for centuries. It’s better than the packaged stuff we can buy in Europe, the USA or Australia. The coconut water in Vietnam is usually drunk straight from the coconut shell through a plastic straw.
The juicy, jelly-like liquid inside the coconut is grassier, sweeter, and more full-flavoured compared to what is being sold as packaged drinks in western countries. I learned that smaller coconuts are usually sweeter and more enjoyable to drink. If the juice tastes a bit salty, it’s probably because the coconut is too old for drinking, and if it’s gassy it usually means exactly the opposite — not ripened yet
Health benefits
Perfect as a delicious product, Coconut water with pulp may not be a miracle cure, it does have many health benefits.
Low in calories
Coconut water has less sugar and carbohydrates than most juices. It also has more minerals and electrolytes like sodium and potassium.
Potassium
Coconut water has more than 10 times the amount of potassium of most sports drinks.
Potassium helps keep fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, especially during exercise. Because there is more potassium than sodium in coconut water, the potassium may help balance out sodium’s effect on blood pressure and possibly even help lower it.
Calcium
Calcium is vital for more than just strong bones and teeth. It helps muscles contract and work properly. Your bones use calcium to get stronger and repair.
Antioxidants
In addition to all of its hydrating benefits, coconut water contains antioxidants that help to neutralize oxidative stress and free radicals created by exercise. Look for fresh coconut water to get the highest levels of antioxidants. Processed and heat pasteurized coconut water has fewer antioxidants, according to a recent study.
Amino acids
Amino acids are essential for repairing tissues and are the building blocks of protein. Coconut water contains more alanine, arginine, cysteine, and serine than cow’s milk. It’s a major source of arginine, an amino acid that helps your body respond to stress (like the stress caused by a difficult workout). Arginine may also help keep the heart healthy.
Cytokine
The hormones that help plants grow, also known as cytokine, are also found in coconut water. These compounds are believed to have antiaging and cancer-fighting properties. However, to date no major studies have shown that coconut water wards off cancer.
