Question:

Is it ok to drink the water from a coconut?


Answers:
Most people have been saying that coconut milk is the same as coconut water. This is not true.

"Actually, the liquid endosperm inside a young coconut is known as coconut water. It is fat free and low in calories, but is a good source of potassium and other nutrients.

Coconut milk is made by pureeing a mixture of coconut meat and water, then straining it to remove some of the fat."


But basically, yes, it is safe to drink.
