What’s all the hype about coconut water for?

Coconut water

Coconut Lulo by Pure White.

In Singapore, drinking coconut water involves a straw and an actual coconut. Here, it’s more practical and fashionable to sip it as an overtone in bottled concoctions. Celebrity trendsetters (who know a lot about everything) have trumpeted its purported health benefits, ranging from “twice the potassium in bananas” to “rich in electrolytes” and “fat free.” I don’t care if any of that is true. I enjoy the flavor of coconut water, the bold sour-sweetness that reminds me of every tropical vacation I’ve ever taken. One of my favorite related products is PureWhite Coconut Lulo, part of a stylish line of antioxidant-rich, 100 percent juices launched in the U.S. and Canada last year (leadingbrandsinc.com). The familiar tang of Sauvignon Blanc grapes and the exotic citrus of lulo (a popular subtropical fruit) make for full-bodied yet light refreshment. Even without the added Vitamin C, it would be good for you.
