Quick Summary

Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside a young, fresh coconut. It is the liquid of the coconut fruit, which comes from the coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera). This liquid is used in beverages. Merriam-Webster also defines coconut milk as coconut water. The coconut fruit itself has a fibrous husk and a hard shell that encloses the endosperm, which includes both meat and liquid. Coconuts are a significant tropical crop, and their fruits float, aiding in their wide dispersal.1234
