COCONUT WATER

Coconut water is also called liquid endosperm. It is thrown away during copra making and becomes a great waste. Uses of coconut water include: coco-juice, coconut water vinegar; and coconut wine. The production of the chewy, fiber-rich “nata” is good as a dessert and as a laxative; as a growth factor; and as a substitute for dextrose. 

Another breakthrough is the use of coconut water as a therapy to cure renal disorders. "Bukolysis", as it is also called, is the medical process of reducing or dissolving urinary stones of the urinary tract systems using buko water from 7 to 9 months old coconuts. Bukolysis is the brainchild of Dr. Eufemio Macalalag Jr., a urologist. For preventive medication, water from one mature coconut consumed daily, could almost guarantee that the formation of stones in the urinary tract will be avoided. To those already afflicted, the coconut water therapy has been proven to be an inexpensive and effective cure. Coconut water is commonly promoted as an economical thirst quencher, hunger satisfier and medical cure for renal disorders all in one. 

Using coconut water, a nata de coco-like growth produced after 14 days which, when cooked in syrup, is a popular dessert. When mixed with other ingredients, like the making of fruit salad, it will enhance the flavor of the dish. And whoever said that nata de coco is just for food was wrong. This nata-like growth is dextran and can be made to comply with the specifications for clinical dextran. we have in the coconut water an important contribution in the atomic defense against radiation sickness.
