I'm lucky to live in South Florida. The sub-tropical climate allows my neighbors to grow coconut trees.

Recently, one of my neighbors got her trees trimmed and all the coconuts landed up in one large pile in the street. She encouraged me to take as many as I wanted.

I gathered my portion and cracked them open, one-by-one, pouring out huge quantities of refreshing green coconut water. It's high in Potassium and a great drink to consume after working-out.

Some coconuts even had coconut jelly/young meat inside, my favorite part.

This time, I discovered a curious side effect of drinking fresh green coconut water--increased sense of taste.
If ever you get the chance to try some fresh green coconut water, test to see if it changes your sense of taste and let me know.
