Vitamins: Young tender coconut water contains ascorbic acid. The concentration of ascorbic acid ranges between 2.2 to 3.7 mg per ml. This ascorbic acid content gradually diminishes as the kernel surrounding the water begins to harden up. The coconut water also contains vitamins of the B group.

Sugars: The natural sugars in the forms of fructose and glucose form an important element of the young tender coconut water. The concentration of natural sugars in the water of the coconut steadily increases from about 1.5 % percent to about 5.0 to 5.5 % percent in the early months of maturation. This process slowly begins to fall back to around 2 % percent at the stage of full maturity of the coconut. It is in the early stages of maturity when the sugars that are in the form of fructose and glucose (reducing sugar) and sucrose (non reducing sugar) appear. Sucrose appears only in the later stages and increases with the maturity of the coconut, while the reducing sugars fall of. In the fully mature coconut approximately (90%) percent of the total sugars is in sucrose form.

Minerals: Young tender coconut water contains many valuable minerals for our bodies such as calcium, sodium, potassium, copper, iron, phosphorous, sulphur, and chlorides. Among the minerals that accounts for more than half the concentration of the coconut water is potassium. The environment in which the coconut trees are grown markedly influences the concentration of which. Young tender coconut water with its high concentration of potassium is the perfect electrolytic balance for our body. This help in the elimination of toxic waste from the body by increasing the urinary output. “Nature’s Fitness Water” TM

Protein: Coconut water contains small amounts of protein. The percentage of alanine, arginine, cystine and serene in the protein of young coconut water is higher than cows milk. Soymilk is another great source of good protein.
Since young coconut water does not contain any complex proteins the danger of producing shock to the patients is minimized.

Amino Acid Composition of Coconut Water: The following chart shows the percentage of each Amino Acid of the total Protein content.

Amino Acid % of total Protein
Alanine 2.41
Arginine 10.75
Aspartic acid 3.60
Cystine 0.97 - 1.17
Glutamic acid 9.76 - 14.5

All about Coconuts: Cocos nucifera is the scientific name of common coconut. Cocos means "spectre goblin" or "grinning face" and Nucifera means "bearing nuts". This very tall palm tree is always an inviting symbol of the tropics. The coconut palm is widely distributed throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Region. Its center of origin is still under debate. However, its name was recorded in Sanskrit in early history.

The ripe fruit of the coconut palm has a hard shell covered by a fibrous outer coat and contains an edible kernel with the coconut in the center. The shell itself is lined with a layer of rich white "meat", and the hollow at the center is filled with a thin, slightly sweet liquid that can be used as a beverage. The dried meat, called copra, is then subjected to pressing or extraction. The residue is known as copra meal. People call coconut a variety of names, which reflect its usefulness to societies - Tree of Life, Tree of Abundance, Tree of heaven. Almost every part of coconut palm is used. It is a primary source of food, water, drink, purifier, fluid re-hydration, isotonic, energy, tonic, fuel, soil rejuvenator from the fiber, animal feed, and shelter. Nature provided us with a tree that produces the world’s best water.

The Nutritional Values of Coconut Products: This varies according to the different stages of development. The mature coconut is a good source of iron and potassium. Approximately 86% of the calories in coconuts is from the white meat inside the shell and are from fat calories, most of which is saturated fat. But the water of the coconut contains less than 1 %. So the pure coconut water is Cholesterol Free and 99% Fat Free. Young Coconut Hearts: High in calcium and phosphorus and low in fat.
