Coconut

Sri Lanka is one of the leading countries in coconut production. It has a significant share in the world coconut market mainly through the supply of Desiccated Coconut (DC).

Coconut water is naturally fat-free and does not contain cholesterol. Athletes are daily consumers of this tropical drink. It helps them hydrate the body and it is also full of electrolytes such as Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, and Calcium. It also contains sugar but in much fewer amounts when compared to most sports drinks and other fruit juices. It is ideal for adults and children as a refreshing and less sweet drink. According to most dietitians, consuming plain coconut water is healthier than flavored coconut water which is similar to another sugary drink.
