Tender coconut water is the fresh nectar of nature! Packed with electrolytes, it is a perfect hydrating drink, which contains essential vitamins such as low calorie, high potassium, and C and B, which are great for rebellion, digestive and increasing immunity.

I don’t drink it regularly but I drink it because I like it. I like the taste of coconut water and soft coconut.

It seems that 60 rupees sold in the entire country- Arkchana U Rahatade (@Arcu 3004) March 26, 2025
