We’ve all heard the health benefits of coconut water. Ever since the hottest celebrities were seen drinking it the popularity of coconut water has sky rocketed and there are loads of different brands out there to try. I tried Vita Coco a few months ago and was recently sent some Buko to try.
Buko organic coconut water is made with 100% pure coconut water lightly pasturised to ensure it stays fresh for longer. Buko wanted to create a drink that wasn’t just healthy, they wanted to create a drink in the most ethical way possible. Their coconuts come from GMO free farms in the Philippines where the workers are paid a fair price for their crop and the crop is produced with no pesticides or fertilisers. In order to give something back to the farmers and the forests that provide the coconuts they work with charity Cuipo to help preserve the rainforests. For every bottle of Buko organic coconut water sold a donation is made to Cuipo protecting not only the coconut palms but the amazing things that are our Earth’s rainforests. They are more important to our planet than people realise and you can read about Cuipo’s work here.
Buko organic coconut water has nothing added so tastes like most other pure coconut waters. I’m not the biggest fan and it needs to be ice cold for me to drink it. That said I am a convert to using it in place of milk in my morning smoothies. It adds a lovely lightness to my drinks and doesn’t overpower the taste of the fruits that I have added, the perfect way to make a summer post workout drink. And with health benefits such as aiding rehydration, cleansing the skin, helping with digestion and improving circulation it would be rude not to give it a try.
You can buy Buko organic coconut water online and 8 330ml cartons cost £15.92.
