Hello everyone~ I am Feifan Feifan, an enthusiast who is curious about all beautiful things, and has a lot of experience in decorating home, home appliance digital, and fitness wear, welcome everyone to pay attention to me, communicate more!
After the rumors of aspartame raised everyone's attention to sugar-free drinks, coconut water, an all-natural, low-calorie drink, became the new favorite of many people's summer drinks. I purchased 12 types of coconut water on the market, comparing it from multiple dimensions such as personal experience, sweetness measurement, cost performance, and calories, to give you a reference to buy coconut water.
Concentrated or non-concentrated?
A picture briefly talks about the difference between condensed and non-condensed, I hope you can understand it at a glance, I will add a few points.
The production method includes the step of sterilization, I omitted it.
NFC is close to the taste of raw juice and maintains nutrients, but the taste of raw juice is not necessarily good, and it is not necessarily rich in nutrition (such as freshly squeezed orange juice, which is really not delicious).
Although FC needs to add color protection agents or increase color through pigmentation, it also needs to be mixed with water, and even sugar, but it does not mean that the taste is not good and not rich in nutrients.
What everyone should pay more attention to is actually whether the original taste is original or not, which taste they prefer, rather than the so-called nutrition.
Definition of coconut water
Open the raw coconut and take out the transparent water inside, which is coconut water.

Note that coconut water is generally taken in the coconut green state, that is, the above picture skin is still in the green state of broken shell to take out, at this time coconut water is the freshest and freshest, when the coconut is old (ripe) into the coconut emperor water is not so delicious.
The coconut water experienced in this article is also a drink made from coconut water taken from coconut green.

It should be specifically noted that the coconut brand coconut water we drink from childhood is a drink mixed with crushed coconut meat, not pure coconut water.
Benefits of coconut water
Let me quickly popularize the knowledge of coconut water!
Contains vitamin B1, B2, B5, B6, folic acid, vitamin C, etc., has certain nutritional value, healthier than ordinary drinks, better than boiled water.
Gone...
Don't believe what is the best supplement to supplement electrolytes and dietary fiber!
The electrolytes that can be replenished per 100ml of coconut water are limited, and ordinary people sweat more to supplement enough, but for athletes, it is not as effective as special sports drinks;
The dietary fiber per 100ml of coconut water belt is about 1g, which is better than nothing;
It has a certain effect of lowering blood pressure, but the effect is not obvious, and you still have to take medicine when you should take medicine;
Although it is low in sugar, it still contains sugar, and diabetics should also try not to drink it;
Therefore, coconut water is a delicious juice water, but it is lower in sugar than ordinary fruit juice, which can be understood as a low-sugar version of fruit juice, nothing more.
12 coconut water
This time there are a total of 12 types of coconut water, and an additional coconut green is added as a comparison, the purchase cost is about 600 yuan, and I hope you will like the collection price attention! This chapter is mainly the introduction of 12 products, if you don't want to see it, you can skip this chapter directly and go directly to the actual measurement results chapter.

Measured results
This test mainly has the following points:
Personal feelings: my experiences and feelings;
Measured sweetness: use a sweetness meter to test, clean each product after testing, and test the sweetness with clean water for 0 before proceeding to the next test;
Cost performance: the price per 100ml is calculated according to the price of Jingdong;
Calories: Check the calorie situation through the ingredient table;
Sodium content: check the sodium status through the ingredient list;
First look at the color, coconut valley, light on the top, good fruit source slightly yellow; Chunguang, Sanlin, Coconut Tree, and Youyang are more turbid.
Note that yellowish and turbid here have nothing to do with quality, it is purely an observation, usually the coconut they open is also yellowish and clear, personally I think it has no effect.
In terms of energy, every 100ML less than 80 kJ I made a red mark, perhaps because of the difference in the content of different carbs in coconut producing areas, according to 300ml to calculate about 70 kcal, the average adult man does not exercise much daily need about 1600-1800 kcal, adult girls for 1200-1300 kcal, 1-2 bottles of 300ml coconut water a day also have 70-140 kcal, everyone should moderate Oh.
And the sodium content is relatively high I also marked out, don't look at the number is very large, in fact, usually eat a lot of supplements, ordinary people sweat in the summer with coconut water to make up for it, professional athletes still have to rely on sports drinks.
According to the results measured by the sweetness meter, the sweetness test of the coconut green I started with buying vegetables in Duoduo is 5.7%, the variety should be Hainan, and most of the sweetness on the table can not exceed the one I bought, you can use it as a reference.
The price marked in red is less than 2 yuan per 100ml.
The taste is a very personal thing, only representing me personally, reference can be, not necessarily representative.
To be honest, it's not 12 cups of coconut water on the table for me to compare repeatedly, I really can't try who is good to drink and who is not drinkable, only 12 models to compare at the same time, can be so intuitive.
For example, I have drunk a lot of ifs before, and I didn't think there was anything bad before, but this comparison is really .... I don't like it.
The score of 2 is obtained after preparing a full cup of each drink and repeatedly comparing and tasting it.
The sweetness is really magical, different coconut varieties bring different sweetness, some are greasy and heavy, and some are fresh.
And the sweetness is also affected by the two tastes of sour and salty, just like sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour ribs, whether it is delicious or not basically depends on the proportion of the three flavors of sour, sweet and salty in the sauce, not the meat itself.
Summarize the recommendations
There are four in total that I personally like and recommend:
If you care that the taste is not sensitive to price, coconut valley, good fruit source and light can start;
If you hope that the cost performance is high and the taste is good, coconut valley and coconut trees can be started;
Salty, sweet or sour and sweet is also marked above, you can try it as needed.
Again, I am a Liangguang person, the taste is light, sweet and sour is acceptable, you can try it as recommended, but it does not mean that other brands are not delicious, pure personal experience.
Then today's sharing, that's it~
