Coconut Water


Throughout India, you will see coconut water stands --- for a mere Rs. 10, the vendor chops off the top of a young green coconut with a small machete (my favorite part), sticks in a straw --- and you have a most refreshing drink!

Coconut water is actually quite good for you especially if you are feeling a bit peckish -- it contains more electrolytes than most sports drinks and more potassium than a banana.

If you want, the vendor will also scoop out the coconut meat -- not my favorite thing, so I always pass on that part.
