Coconut water is obtained by cracking open a green, tender and undamaged coconut. The liquid found inside the coconut endosperm is clear, sweet and sterile containing distinctive chemical compounds like various types of sugars, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, phyto-hormones, and cytokine. Usually, coconuts that have matured for anything between five and seven months are harvested from the trees to obtain their water for drinking.
It is worth mentioning here that coconut tree is a member of the Arecaceae family - belonging to the palm trees.
The amount of water contained by a coconut varies between 200 ml and 1000 ml subject to its size and type of cultivar. It is not advisable to drink the water of any coconut that has not grown for five months, because the water of such nuts not only tastes bitter, but also does not contain any nutrient. On the other hand, very mature coconuts, which have grown for more than seven months, contain scant water and the endosperm of such coconuts condenses to form a white edible substance (kernel).
The edible endosperm or coconut meat is used to obtain coconut milk and, hence, it is important not to mistake the milk for coconut water.

In several tropical regions, coconut water is usually given to diarrhea patients with a view to replenish the rapid fluid loss from the GI (gastrointestinal tract), thereby preventing acute dehydration and the need to hospitalize the patient. The osmolarity (intensity of a solution conveyed as the overall number of solute particles in each litre) of the liquid obtained from tender coconuts is a bit higher compared to the ORS (Oral Rehydration Therapy) recommended by the WHO. Moreover, coconut water contains several biological elements such as amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and enzymes and all these contribute to the elevated osmolarity of this liquid.
