Green coconut, also known as tender coconut, is the young, unripe fruit of the coconut palm, originating from tropical regions such as Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and coastal areas of India. Prized for its naturally refreshing water and soft, gelatinous flesh, green coconut is packed with essential nutrients. Its water contains electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and magnesium, making it an excellent hydrating beverage, especially in warm climates or after physical activity. The flesh offers small amounts of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins like C and B-complex. Low in calories and free of additives, green coconut supports digestion, boosts energy, and may aid heart health. However, consuming excessive amounts of the flesh can add calories and fat to the diet. Commonly used in savory dishes, desserts, or simply as a drink, green coconut is a versatile and nutritious ingredient in tropical cuisines.
