I want to get on a plane right now & experience that. I especially like the part about putting out the flames. It's like being there reading your experience :). Oh wow, Michelle… that sounds amazing.

The vendors would cut out a hole and pour the juice into a plastic bag. He would add plenty of lime juice and some sugar if you wished. The flesh from the coconut would get removed and chopped into bite size pieces. These would be drenched in lime juice and hot sauce. It was great to munch away until your mouth was on fire then put out the flames with a little coconut water. I grew up in Mexico and have been enjoying coconut water since I can remember.

We made some the other day & thought I'd share the technique. Take 1 Liter of coconut water (you may use the coconut water from these tetra paks or fresh water from young coconuts. (If you use the 250 ml tetra paks it will take 4 to make a liter of water.) Add 1 packet of kefir starter and place lid on jar. It will now take 4-5 days for the kefir to culture at room temperature. The coconut water will become cloudy as the culture grows and it will become "fizzy". When the culture is done, add a twist of lime and a little stevia or organic sweetener of your choice. Then sit down and enjoy this delicious probiotic drink. It is alkalinizing, wonderful, and very, very healthy. Pretty tasty (& healthy) :) Has anyone ever used homemade Kefir?

Since you left a vitacoco.com email address, I'll assume you're an employee of the company, with something of an attendant bias (if not, say, a job description that includes astroturfing). Haven't seen your product in my local grocery, but I'll keep an eye out. Thanks, Giselle.

Other brands add sodium as a covert preservative, although they don't tell you that on the label. Vita Coco also has other 4 other flavors aside from the natural coconut water. They have pineapple, peach and mango, tangerine and passion fruit. They use natural fruit puree as opposed to fruit essence or artificial flavors and they're all delicious. You should try Vita Coco.
