Our coconuts are grown with good farming practice. Coconut meat contains less sugar and more protein than any other common fruits like bananas, apples and oranges. It contains high minerals such as iron, phosphorus and zinc. Young coconuts used for coconut water are called tender coconuts: when the coconut is still green, the endosperm inside is thin and tender, and is often eaten as a snack, but the main reason to pick the fruit at this stage is to drink its water. The water of a tender coconut is liquid endosperm. It is sweet (mild) with an aerated feel when cut fresh. Depending on its size a tender contains 300 to 1, 000 ml of coconut water.
