Coconut Water

Natural, Healthy, Liquid Energy

Coconut Water is packed with vitamins and minerals. Young coconuts have the most liquid and are the most flavorful. Bambu coconuts are harvested when they are still young and green from trees in Thailand. Prior to packaging & shipping, the outer green husk is removed and each coconut is individually wrapped to seal in the moisture.

Did you know? As a coconut matures, the water is replaced by the white coconut flesh.

Your Bambu Shoppe cuts these fresh coconuts by hand with a machete every day! This ensures you enjoy only the freshest and most nutrient-rich coconut water. Along with draining the coconut liquid daily, we hand-carve the inner coconut meat. Young Thai coconut meat is lower in fat and higher in calcium than other coconuts. It is also high in antioxidants. The fat in coconuts is medium-chain fatty acids, which are better absorbed than animal fat and has anti-inflammatory effects. The young coconut meat found in Bambu Chè becomes a great superfood and energy booster to add to your diet!

Did you know? Coconut water that sits for more than 24 hours begins to lose nutrients.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Coconut water is low in calories and fat, but rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. A few key nutrients in coconut water include lauric acid, chloride and iron, as well as important electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium and phosphorous. In fact, the potassium content in coconut water is nearly twice the amount in a banana. A healthy balance of electrolytes is important, plus it helps with the absorption and balance of the body’s fluids.

Many studies have shown that the antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of coconut water may help with several health conditions. This nutrient-rich liquid has been used to regulate blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, and it has been found to boost energy levels and increase metabolism in the human body. It has been effective at easing the symptoms of stomach flu, dysentery, indigestion, constipation, intestinal worms, cholera, urinary and kidneys, dry and itchy skin, age spots, and wrinkles.
