coconut twist

Ingredients:  Pure, Organic, Coconut Water From Thailand, with Whole Watermelon, Orange Slices, Blueberry,  Strawberry, Raspberry.

Factoid: Coconut water is rich in electrolytes like potassium which makes it excellent for hydration and for replenishing minerals after exercise or illness. It is low in calories and it contains antioxidants that may support heart health and help reduce oxidative stress. There are many things I find interesting about human food patterns. Just a few generations ago the importation of exotic foods was limited and usually reserved for people with money. For countless ages our ancestors relied on whatever the environment gave them for calories and sustenance. They lived off the land in a very literal way. Today we have exotic foods from all over the world flowing through our distribution systems. It may not be ideal for the carbon footprint and I am the first to say we need to keep improving that. Still it has given humanity a real advantage. We are no longer victims of circumstance the way our ancestors were. We can get camu camu berry or avocados or beautiful coconuts even in the dead of winter instead of scraping by in colder climates with very little to eat. I am grateful for this access and for the direction we are heading in. At goodsugar on the upper east side we keep organic Thai coconuts in all seasons so people can enjoy the best of nature whenever they want it.

Watermelon is naturally hydrating, and the berries are fabulous antioxidants. No added sugar. All organic produce.
