In the absence of IV fluids this is the best option and said to have save lots of American and Filipino lives during WWII. There are lots of varieties of these and the one that has the best taste is called "pilipog". The one you drank is preserved I assume, it tastes best when fresh from the tree and this particular variety. I grew up with all of this varieties in our farm. I hope you can visit here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-9975699071625290102011-11-02T10:19:50.929-07:002011-11-02T10:19:50.929-07:00Coconut water is huge at the moment, Celeberities ...Coconut water is huge at the moment, Celeberities are desperate to be seen with <a href="http://uk.zico.com/" title="ZICO" rel="nofollow">ZICO</a> and others like vitaRob Bowmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547690855385324095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-57102550749834448692011-08-14T05:05:16.272-07:002011-08-14T05:05:16.272-07:00Coconut water is becoming more and more popular ev...Coconut water is becoming more and more popular every day.Many people don’t know where to buy coconut water.

However, it only comes in one flavor - natural. If I was buying for the office, I would recommend Zico. They have 4-5 nice subtle flavors that could please a lot of palettes.<br /><br />What a lucky office!<br /><br />SdScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-59393829527572220262011-06-07T16:39:23.372-07:002011-06-07T16:39:23.372-07:00Seems like there is a lot of Product promotion her...Seems like there is a lot of Product promotion here.

I'...I do rock climbing, bouldering and surfing. I've tasted coconut water straight from young coconuts in from many countries I have been to which includes Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Belize, Mexico, the island of Hawaii and out of the brands that can be purchased in tetra packs, i would say that Vita CoCo is the closest to natural tasting and probably closest to the fresh ones you can have straight from the tree. I also recommend the AAmy & Brian" brand, they too taste very close to the fresh ones form the fruit, but they are also a bit more expensive and comes in a can. Lately, it looks like the Vita Coco brand that i have been getting, their coconut water came from the Philippines. Still the best ones you can get are from the fruit itself, fresh but these are some of the best alternatives if you don't live in the tropics.

Fruit juice takes away from coconut water (defeats the purpose of drinking coconut water), but essences are plant extracts that add flavor, but not other fruit juices, preservatives, or sugar.<BR/><BR/>Zico is the premium coconut water that doesn't add sugar, preservatives, or other fruit juices. Vitacoco is near the bottom. Vitacoco adds sugar and other juices to their coconut water, taking away from the overal nutritional content you would get from a full serving of coconut water. Zico is the way to go to get the best of coconut water.batess31https://www.blogger.com/profile/00034704732657963114noreply@blogger.com
