Coconut water has been popping up in gyms, yoga studios, in the hands of Hollywood celebrities and now health food stores across Barcelona. However trendy, coconut water is not a new fad. It has been around forever. Many of us have had the pleasure of going to the Caribbean and tasting some very refreshing and tasty coconut water from the coconut itself.
So why drink it when you are not on vacation? Coconut water has many health benefits. This tasty water is incredibly hydrating and loaded with nutrition. The electrolytes in coconut water are found at the same levels as those in our blood. Think of it as nature’s sport drink, without all the high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and artificial flavors. Coconut water is also rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. And it’s a perfect post workout drink, alone or in a smoothie.
The most common brand in Barcelona is Dr. Antonio Martins but you can get coconut water in any healthy food store. It comes from young coconuts, but there is no need to buy a coconut; it comes in a carton, all natural and unsweetened. Now we can enjoy coconut water all year long.
