Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I remember going to the Expo West trade show in Anaheim the last few years. It's a giant trade show for natural, whole and organic products. Unfortunately, I didn't get to go this year, but I did pop over to Epicurious' Daily Dish to find out what kinds of new products are on the horizon. One of them is coconut water.
Coconut water, not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut cream, is the liquid inside young, green coconuts that eventually gets absorbed into the coconut's flesh as it matures into those hard hairy things. Coconut water isn't of course, new, as people in the tropics have been drinking the stuff for years, but it is now being bottled and marketed as the new sports drink. Coconut water is naturally fat free, is very low in calories, and is very high in potassium and other electrolytes (just like Gatorade!).

We get "young coconuts" here in Seattle, and they are covered in a white fibrous husk which is cut to be tapered at the top and flat on the bottom. You cut the top with a small cleaver *chop* *chop* *chop* and drink the water with a straw or pour it messily into your mouth. Wonderful and refreshing!

Three types one with pulp one without and one with lime. There is this brand and several others availible. Now you won't have to go thru the hassle of cutting open coconuts...you want to keep all those fingers so to write emails.
