Commonly known to the Filipino people as “buko juice,” coconut water is one of nature’s gifts to humankind. It is packed with vitamins and minerals, with a flavor that is as natural and refreshing as it gets.



This clear liquid is extracted from coconuts that can grow as large as a basketball.

Dubbed as “Mother Nature’s Sports Drink” by the advertising world, the demand for coconut water has went through the roof over the past couple of years.

This is because Filipinos just love their buko juice and if you didn’t have enough reasons why, here are 5 more to get you on the buko juice bandwagon!
