I have long been a fan of coconut oil as one of the most health-promoting of all plant-based fats.
I have spent nearly 15 winters in Hawaii, where fresh coconuts off the tree are readily available.
Coconut oil comes from the “meat” of the coconut.
But today, I'd like to share a little information about coconut oil’s best friend: coconut water.
If you’ve ever picked up a fresh coconut in the grocery store and shaken it, you’ve heard the liquid sloshing inside—this is coconut water.
Both coconut water and coconut milk come from coconuts, but they are not the same thing.
Coconut water is extracted from young, green coconuts that have not reached maturity. artJazz/iStock
