Coconut water from brown coconuts can make you more thirsty
Coconuts are the ultimate survival kit if you find yourself stuck on an island or a coastal region. In such situations, stumbling upon a coconut tree can save your life. Filled with potable water rich in electrolytes, edible and nutritious flesh, husks that can aid in lighting a fire, and shells that can act as a water storage tool, literally everything you need in such an emergency is in this one fruit. However, choosing the right fruit to consume is equally important to ensure survival.
Brown coconuts tend to have a higher quantity of oil which, if consumed, can make an individual thirstier and increase their chances of feeling dehydrated. On the contrary, green coconuts are a better alternative to their mature counterparts as they have more water content and less oil, which means they are more efficient in quenching your thirst. Along with the combustible husks, coconut oil can be used to protect one’s skin from harsh sun rays.
