Coconut water is the clear, nutrient-rich liquid found inside young, green coconuts (Cocos nucifera). Unlike coconut milk, which is derived from the grated flesh of mature coconuts, coconut water is a natural isotonic beverage harvested directly from the fruit's cavity. It has gained global recognition as a functional food due to its electrolyte composition, low caloric content, and potential health benefits, particularly in hydration and post-exercise recovery.
