Questions about Coconut water
Is coconut water the same as coconut milk?
No. Coconut water is the clear liquid inside a young coconut; coconut milk is made by mixing coconut flesh with water and is much richer and creamier. They are not interchangeable in recipes.
How do you choose coconut water without added sugar?
Look for a product whose ingredients list only coconut water. Some drinks sold as coconut water are blends with added sugar, fruit juice or flavourings.
How long does coconut water keep after opening?
Put it in a sealed container in the fridge and drink it within a few days. Fresh coconut water is best soon after opening, as it can pick up other flavours and spoil.
Can you cook rice with coconut water?
Yes. Replace some or all of the cooking water with coconut water for a gently sweet flavour; it works well with rice served alongside spicy dishes. Avoid boiling it down hard, which can make the sweetness overpowering.
What can you use instead of coconut water in a smoothie?
Use cold water for a neutral, light texture, or a little apple juice for sweetness. Coconut milk makes a smoothie creamier and richer, so it will change the result.
Can you freeze coconut water?
Yes. Freeze it in an airtight container, leaving room for expansion, or pour it into an ice-cube tray. Thaw it in the fridge and stir before drinking, as the texture may change slightly.
Does coconut water come from the coconut flesh?
No: it is the liquid naturally held inside the coconut. It is most abundant in young, green coconuts, before the flesh has thickened.
