Just read above comments about coconut water ( I call it juice.) In my eagerness to add my 2 cents, I posted my comments on FACEBOOK (lol).
You can buy young coconuts in ASIAN markets. They usually have the green skin. It is easier to slice (sharp thick knife) on top then make a small quarter size hole ( smaller knife)to make an opening. Be careful not to spill the juice.
The younger and fresher the coconut the better the taste ( sweet and refreshing!)!
Good luck!
PS
The flesh( meat) can be scraped as a delicious treat!
It is available frozen at Asian markets.

I am hoping to convince my husband to drink coconut water over Gatorade, but for my money, I’d like the most nutrients possible…not a pasteurized juice! I looked into Dr. Martin’s coco water and it seems that the company is in Europe. I am wondering if there is a place to buy fresh or unpasteurized coconut water in San Diego. Sounds like Whole Foods and other stores just have the pasteurized waters. Anyone know anything I don’t know? I don’t want to buy online if I don’t have to because that gets expensive. My husband will never go for it if the price is out the roof.

Though I love coconut water, I have mixed feelings because coconuts isnt local to me (California). I cook with and eat coconut oil, and buy young coconuts occasionally, but still feel conflicted because it doesn’t fit with my “buy and eat local” goals. I cant find anything else that compares to coconuts

THANKS for answering a question I have had for years and no dietician or doctor could answer it. I have a tree nut allergy and have always wondered if that included coconuts. I have avoid them as the risk was too high. Now I know.

God Save The Coconuts! I won a coffee at starbucks because I knew that coconuts are the worlds largest seed. A very impressive peice of silly trivia. So glad that there are RD’s out there who get it. I recently sat through a hearing in the CAlifornia Legislature in which RD after RD got up and demonized whole milk while holding up (pink), non-fat, strawberry milk as a healthy alternative. I wanted to scream. so frusterated.

Any suggestions of similar products for those of us who live in temperate climates? It seems every climate has a local product that does similar things, and I hate to think about all the energy it takes to get coconuts to Michigan!
