coconut water. we’re not talking coconut milk. i heard about coconut water on npr a month ago & decided to give it a try. one call to whole foods and i was on my way. they carry several brands, i went with O.N.E. & ZICO, simply because i liked the 11 ounce packaging. coconut water is touted to be super good for you, it’s a natural way to replace electrolytes (unlike gatorade, which is brimming with artificial ingredients & high fructose corn syrup). the ingredient list on the box? just one, coconut water. nothing else. i found coconut water refreshing with a hint of sweetness and with more body than your regular h2o. sells for $1.99 for 11 ounces (canned diet cokes are 12 ounces). on sale now at whole foods 3/$5. stock up.
info from the O.N.E.™ website; coconut water is:
the water from inside the young green coconut.
100% natural, and has five essential electrolytes (calcium, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and sodium).
a naturally sweet, low calorie and hydrating.
excellent for replacing lost electrolytes from exercise or illness.
an all-natural sports/energy drink.
a natural isotonic beverage, contains a similar level of electrolytes found in human blood.
non-allergenic.
coconut water has:
more potassium than a banana (15 times the amount of potassium as most sports drinks, without the artificial chemicals found in sports drinks).
no added sugars, no fat, no cholesterol, and no preservatives.
coconut water may help promote smoother, more hydrated skin.

I had heard the hype about 6 months ago and got one at whole foods. I thought it was absolutely gross. Took one sip, then poured it down the sink. I cant agree with you on this one.
