What’s special about coconut water?

Not many are aware of the special benefits of about coconut water.  You would have probably heard about coconut oil and the plenty of benefits it offers. But here you will learn more about the coconut water and its goodness.

In my childhood, coconut water seems to be a nature’s miracle as I used to wonder how a sweet water gets inside a stony covering of a fruit in a tall-headed tree. One day, when i was saying my thoughts with my grandfather, he told me few lines from an ancient literature called Moothurai (மூதுரை). I felt it is worth sharing with you all. In that poem, a prominent female Tamil poet named Avvaiyar, who lived during the Sangam period (c. 1st and 2nd century CE), says about the goodness of coconut tree. That is,

நன்றி ஒருவற்குச் செய்தக்கா லந்நன்றி
என்று தருங்கொ லெனவேண்டா-நின்று
தளரா வளர்தெங்கு தாளுண்ட நீரைத்
தலையாலே தான்தருத லால்.

The poem means,

A coconut tree is adept in giving back what it got. It gives back the water dawn from the ground in the form of sweet tender coconut water. The poem stresses the importance of paying back for the good deeds that we have received, as the coconut tree does.
