![]() ![]() Most major brands of coconut water are pasteurized. These enzymes are known to aid in digestion and metabolism, but they are destroyed when the coconut water is heated. Coconut water is much healthier in its unpasteurized state because all of the beneficial enzymes (like catalase, dehydrogenase, and peroxidase) remained unharmed. Here’s what you may not know about coconut water: Up here in Michigan, coconut water can range from about $1.95 or so for a 12-ounce bottle popular brand (like Zico or Naked), and even up to $3.59 or so for a smaller 8-ounce bottle (for the brand Harmless Harvest). But for someone buying organic food on a budget and especially someone living outside of tropical areas, is coconut water really a good value for your health? We’ve all seen and read about how beneficial coconut water is for the body.

The health food store became my favorite new destination, and the large paper boxes of coconut water caught my eye almost immediately. Small changes like these made a huge difference, and I started getting curious about all the new “superfoods” being talked up on natural health websites, like coconut water. I started with the essentials: organic mixed greens, spinach, carrots, kale and other produce, and resolved to eat all of these foods even if it was straight out of the box or bag (I had no cooking skills at the time). ** Please note that this post may contain affiliate links which means that I can receive a small payment if you make a purchase through my links. ![]()
