Fresh "Nam Hom" Coconut Water by SamSuan 1L

This is completely unprocessed coconut water, straight from SamSuan’s own “nam hom” coconut farms in Dumneon Saduak, Ratchaburi. They extract it from the coconuts (which are harvested at peak ripeness), put it into these 1 liter pouches, and then immediately blast freeze it and send it our way. This preserves the water in its most natural state, with all of the enzymes and nutrients that nature intended. Outside of drinking coconut water straight from the coconut, it’s rare (especially in the city!) to see completely non-processed coconut water in the marketplace, due to shelf-life concerns. 100% of the coconut water you’ll see for sale at large supermarket chains has been processed with either HPP (high-pressure-processing, where they shoot the liquid through an extremely high pressure cylinder which removes certain enzymes which cause it to spoil quickly - but this also removes some of the healthy nutrients in the water), or UHT (ultra high temperature processing, which also “sterilizes” the liquid but does so through extremely high temperature for a very short time). If you’re used to drinking coconut water from a cardboard carton, the taste of this unprocessed coconut water will be a pleasant surprise. It’s naturally a bit sweeter with a more “rounded” flavor profile - you’ll notice a big difference. Coconut water has a variety of health benefits but is perhaps most known for its hydration / electrolyte-replenishing qualities. That’s because it’s naturally high in the five key electrolytes: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate. (More potassium per serving than in a banana or about 15 Gatorades! True story.) Try it before or after a workout, or after a heavy night out (of drinking paleo wines, ahem). Once you defrost this coconut water, consume within 3 days!
