Sales of bottled coconut water have this year taken off around the world. 2008 and 2012, the number of coconut water product introductions increased by 540 per cent internationally according to research by Mintel, and New Zealand is getting amongst it. A report by Pacific Islands Trade & Invest in 2012 showed New Zealand coconut imports are on the rise with a 32 per cent increase between 2007 and 2012. Suggested health benefits: Comprises the right balance of electrolytes, which help replenish the body after strenuous exercises and workouts. Organic coconut water also contains a variety of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, and vitamins (A, B, C), amino acids, and phosphorous. Shoppers don’t just love coconuts for their water. A scan through the supermarkets shows coconut oil, flour and sugar now sit alongside the classic desiccated coconut and coconut cream. |
