Coconut water is the clear, mildly sweet liquid swishing inside young green coconuts. It is used in many dishes and is a popular drink on its own. Don’t confuse coconut water with coconut milk. While fresh coconut water is translucent, coconut milk is thick and creamy. Coconut water is available canned and in clear bags in the frozen section. Adjust for added sugars.
