 Great alternative to fresh young coconuts or sports electryolyte drink November 22, 2008
I am a Body Ecology Coach and the 'stars' of the Body Ecology Diet are probiotic rich, cultured foods such as Young Coconut Kefir and Cultured Vegetables. br /br /We make the YCK (Young Coconut Kefir) from probiotic starters and the juice - the water from YOUNG coconuts. This is a very important part of the diet as many people find that it helps tremendously to help them with their sugar carb cravings and helps to restore the gut's inner ecobalance by recolonizing the gut with healthy beneficial probiotics.br /br /Sometimes finding fresh young white THAI coconuts is a challenge. If you do find them, like other fresh produce, they can be old and mildewy or they can cost a fortune since there is a wide range price on them (.69 cents to $5.00 EACH). Because the juice content varies between each coconut (think of a juicy apple vs a drier apple), it can take a person 1-3 fresh coconuts to make 1 quart of young coconut kefir.br /br /That's where these wonderful pre-packaged containers full of young coconut water come in handy for those of us who love Young Coconut Kefir! br /br /Although packaged coconut water does not taste as sweet and fresh as FRESH young coconut water, it still tastes good, is very refreshing, contains MORE electolytes (especially potassium) than any sports drink out there, is all natural and of course, is SO easy to access by pulling the 'sticky tab' back rather than cracking a hard fresh coconut by hand! Not to mention they keep longer than fresh coconuts.br /br /Young Coconut water is a GREAT and much HEALTHIER alternative to any sports drink, juice drink full of unhealthy syrups such as high fructose corn syrup and especially sodas. They taste much better cold and is even more refreshing with some freshly squeezed lime juice in them.
 Yuck, yuck, yucky! October 25, 2008

I have had some great coconut water. I have had it straight from the source and packaged. It is usually sweet and wonderful. This is *NOT*! This tastes like fermented juice of some sort that doesn't even resemble coconut. It's sour and bitter. I drank a couple of these hoping to get used to the taste but couldn't. I don't have anything positive to say about this drink, so 1 star it is. I am very disappointed.
Tastes almost like fresh coconut water October 16, 2008

When I lived in Key West (many, many years ago), we had a coconut tree in our front yard, and the taste of fresh coconut and coconut water just can't be beat. This comes close, but not as close as the ONE brand of coconut water. Given that the prices are very similar, I'll buy the One brand from Amazon.com.

I really wanted to like this so I went into it with an open mind. The packaging is great, it is a nice label, it is easy to open.......That is about all I can say about this product that is positive.br /br /The stuff tastes like garbage. It is salty and does not taste like coconut in the least. It has a strange almost filmy consistency. I was quite disappointed. Perhaps some of the flavored versions would be better but I doubt it.
 The Best! October 10, 2008

wow! what can i say. 690 mg of potassium. compare that to gatorade at 30mg per serving of gatorade. plus all of the other electrolytes. since i've started. no more muscle tightness. I have one every morning to replenish. love it. i'm so thankful to the person that introduced me to this drink. br /p.s. i'm active in the gym, jump rope and run often.
