What a Joke....

FLAKES:  Awesome to put in my chia seed puddings, make a nut mix with, snack on (as hard as I try to hold back).  Roll truffles in, sprinkle on other treats, salads, you name it, give er a try!

I think they taste best when you keep them in the fridge!

Coconut Milk

Wait, so what's the difference between milk and water?? There's two liquids in the same shell??? 

The Aqueous part is a part of the endosperm of the coconut.  Whereas milk is obtained from collecting the liquid from the grating process of the endosperm (hopefully without the addition of water or any other additives).  

It's loaded with good fats, some protein, and has a viscosity that makes desserts, puddings, smoothies, curry dishes AMAZING.  

Study on the chemical and biological properties of coconut- for you nerds like me out there.

Coconut Water:  

They actually IV this stuff in some countries, it's my drink of choice if I'm going to re hydrate.  True coconut water that hasn't been processed (converted to syrup for packaging, then water is added after shipping before packaging), is LOADED with a great ratio of

• -Electrolytes that are everso sought after by athletes and fitness junkies.  Mg, Na, K, P, Ca
• Phytonutrients
• Inorganic ions
• Enzymes 
• Phytohormones (such as cytokinins--shown to have anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, anti-thrombotic effects)
•  Combination of compounds to induce an alkalizing effect. 

So put down that sugar infused Gatorade, it's just an impostor.  BUT make sure you are getting a coco water worth spending money on... aka not one that's own by Pepsi or Coke (ONE, Zico, Naked etc).  These may be pasteurized, made from concentrate, crap added like sugar, "natural" flavors, and you'd be supporting companies that have absolutely ZERO interest in your health, along with the rest of the world and have probably lobbied against things like GMO food labeling and put even more toxic things in their other products to dish out to others.
