Description

The king coconut is a subclass of coconut and is only used for the consumption of its sweet water and inside flesh. It is easily distinguishable from the ordinary coconut due to its shell being a vibrant orange colour. A common misconception is that people think both coconuts (The king coconut and ordinary one) can be obtained from the same tree when they are, in fact, obtained from two different trees. There are two types of known king coconuts in our country and that is the Ran king coconut (Ran Thambili) and Gon king coconut (Gon thambili).

Although many of us may not know, the sweet waters of the king coconut is a popular health drink, consisting of many ingredients essential for our human body and is a completely natural product since additional sweeteners and other artificial ingredients are not added.

As you might have guessed, Sri Lanka is the highest producer of the king coconut with many of our citizens consuming the water on a daily basis. In terms of health, this is indeed a great product.
