Is Coconut Water Truly Delicious?

I remember trying coconut water fresh from the coconut as a child and I was not impressed. I figured it was much like broccoli- something you enjoy more as you get older. Well I decided to try it again  with all the health benefits recently reported.

First I want to say,  I am not a health nut. As a matter of fact I am overweight. I hate drinking plain water and I drink hoards of sugar and milk  laden coffee. I was looking for a health beverage to help me consume water and cut back on the coffee. Coconut water sounded so delicious, and exotic and I love pina coladas, how could coconut water be bad.

I decided to buy 2 cases of coconut water from Amazon, as they had a 50% of deal and I needed $25 worth to get free shipping. I excitedly awaited my package of coconut water. Once it arrived I immediately stuck one in the freezer so I could try it right away. My first sip tasted like wood water with an odd thick consistency like saliva. My grandson age 2 1/2 wanted to try some, too. He now calls it eewey juice. I would not call the flavor of coconut water yummy or delicious. I would not call it awful, either. I did buy the 17 ounce carton and consumed the whole thing. I definately noticed a pep in my step, and I did feel full after drinking it. And my body temperature was definately cool ( I had just mowed the lawn). So refreshing is a good term to be used in the description of coconut water.

The whole point of this article is to give my honest opinion as many marketers tend to focus on the benefits, and exaggerate. I would not like readers to be disappointed in a product purchase that I gave a false representation of it. A person whom is on a diet and regularly consumes bland foods may have a different flavor opinion.

Overall, I will buy coconut water again because of the health benefits and the way it makes feel.

Now, Which brand of water tastes best?

This topic seams to be up for debate also if you read the reviews at Amazon. Recently a group of wine tasters did a blind taste test of  the top 4 brands of  coconut water, along with fresh green and brown coconuts. You can check out their findings here
