BENEFITS OF FRESH COCONUT WATER
Here is some information about Coconut Water:
'It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak.'
During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers..
Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment. more

Regarding Richi Seth's comment. I can only say that if you want to Adulterate the product and earn money at the cost of our lives in India you may do so. But in USA the Food and Drug Aministration is very Strict. Million Dollars worth of products will be rejected if found Harmful. If Richi's Tetra Pack Company was treating with Chemicals and Gases, product of that Company should never be purchased. Secondly I have known of Coconut Sellers injecting through a needle into the Coconut some sweetner to make it sweet and sell. So you have to be always vigilant about these practices. more

I agree with Dr. Saumya Mittal, that nothing like Fresh Coconut Water. But in USA you get only Packed Coconut Water as fresh as possible. This is duly approved by the FDA of USA. (Food and Drug Administration) Please see the following in this regard. PACKED COCNUT WATER VS FRESH COCONUT WATER • Aseptically-Packed Coconut Water is derived from the processing of juice from nine-month old coconut fruits of which optimum quality is maintained until they are processed. The water collected from the coconut is filtered and immediately or rapidly cooled to 2-4°C to avoid fermentation and enzymatic deterioration. • The product is free from extraneous materials. • All processes employed are in accordance with "Good Manufacturing Practices" and under strict sanitary conditions, as per the FDA norms. • Coconut water is the juice in the interior of young coconut. Its water is one of the natures most refreshing drinks, consumed worldwide for its nutritious and health benefiting properties. • The water is obtained by opening a tender, green and undamaged coconut. The taste is sweet and the liquid is a unique mixture of sugars, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes, amino acids, cytokine, and phyto-hormones. • The fresh coconut water is a sensitive product, shortly after the coconut is opened the decomposition process starts. With our processing solutions and by packing the coconut water in a shelf stable carton package the water stays fresh for several months and the consumer is guaranteed a fresh and healthy coconut water drink more

Agree with Dr Saumya here, natural fresh coconut water is always good. Have personally worked with the tetrapak company. They do add preservatives and also the layers of tetrapak are treated with chemicals and gases so the content inside is not safe to drink. more
