WHY COCONUTS CONTAINS WATER.

Coconuts contain water because they are classified as a type of seed that stores water in its endosperm. The endosperm of the coconut is surrounded by a thick fibrous layer called the pericarp. The endosperm is not only a source of coconut water, but also a source of nutrition for embryos in their early stages of growth.


Coconut water is composed of a mixture of sugars, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients (including potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus). This ingredient makes coconut water a natural electrolyte beverage that is often consumed to replace body fluids lost during physical activity or in hot climates.
The water in coconuts comes from the expansion of the endosperm. In the early stages of development, the coconut endosperm absorbs water and swells to form large pores filled with water. As the coconut matures, the endosperm hardens, but the water remains in the cavity surrounded by the tough, fibrous pericarp.

Thus, the presence of water in coconut is related to the expansion of the endosperm, which serves as a reserve and nutrient source for the embryo in the early stages of growth. Water contains a variety of nutrients and is a natural electrolyte drink that is beneficial to health.
