Wouldn't the coconut milk from a fresh mature coconut be the same as the "juice" in the boxes, only possibly better?

Tonio

Hi Rhonda,No, it is not coconut milk, it is coconut JUICE, and that is far different...it comes in little juice boxes with a straw on top. It is thin and watery, whereas coconut milk in the cans is white and thick. Big difference.

Actually Tonio, I don't know the answer to that. Every time someone

has mentioned coconut kefir, they always talk about using young green

coconuts, not mature ones. It could be that the PH or the vitamin

content is different in the young ones. I have cracked young ones open

and the meat is definitely way different than the mature ones. It's

soft and pudding like, whereas the mature ones are hard and crunchy,

you know. I bet www.bodyecologydiet.com explains why to use young ones

and not mature...

Good question.

Tonio,

Here's all I could find on the bodyecology.com website...it is an

interesting question--about the mature ones.

What People Say About Coconut Water Kefir

1. It completely stops your cravings for sugar. Imagine the benefits of

that!

2. It aids digestion of all foods.

3. It has a tonifying affect on the intestines, even flattening the

abdomen!

4. It appears to cleanse the liver. In Chinese medicine the liver

rules the skin, eyes, and joints. Coconut water kefir eases aches and

joint pains. Many people report having a prettier complexion. They

experience the brown liver spots on the skin fading away and skin tags,

moles, or warts drying up and disappearing. Vision also improves.

5. It contains high levels of valuable minerals, including potassium,

natural sodium, calcium, and magnesium, which explains why the hair,

skin and nails become stronger and have a prettier shine.

6. It appears to have a beneficial, cleansing effect on the endocrine

system (adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, ovaries). Women find that their

periods are cleaner and healthier; some who had experienced early

menopause have found this important monthly cleansing returning again.

7. It increases energy and gives you an overall feeling of good health.

     Young green coconuts yield several delicious foods. You can

ferment the water (not " coconut milk " ) into that delicious, healing

kefir. You can also eat the very special meat. Soft, pudding-like, and

technically a seed, this meat is high in protein, enzyme-rich, and very

easy to digest. Like all seeds and nuts, it is a protein fat, but this

seed provides an excellent source of lauric and caprylic fatty acids.

You can scoop the meat out of the shell and eat it raw, or you can put

it in a blender with enough water to make it the same consistency of

guacamole and then ferment it. Just add our kefir starter, and in 24

hours, you’ll have a sort of kefir " cheese, " a fabulous fermented base

for salad dressings, dips, or just plain eating as is. It’s like eating

yogurt, only it’s dairy-free

I just want to be totally clear - all the listed wonderful, gotta have benefits are from the coconut water kefir of young green coconuts? not mature ones?

And, where do you get those young green beauties? I've never seen them for sale, in southern Cal nor up here. Do they make the same claims for the stuff that comes in the box with the straw and the little prize inside?

And, have you had any of this coconut kefir? If so, what have you experienced or feel about it?

Thank you so much for enticing my insatiable curiousity.

MMMMWAH. ;-) ;-)...

Here in St. Louis all the Asian grocery stores have them, and now in the

last six months or so some of the other grocery stores (like Whole Foods)

are getting them.
