Dr. Antonio Martins Coco Juice and Coco Milk

Hazelnuts or walnuts can easily be opened with a nutcracker. If one other hand tries to crack a coconut for the first time, will remember that for a long time. To break the hard shell open, men have left no stone unturned over time. One can open the coconut with a saw, split it with a machete or ply it with hammer and chisel to get the coveted juice and exotic flesh. In the tropics, even diesel powered wood splitters are partly turned into coconut openers. If this heavy equipment is not available, the opening of the fruit becomes a real challenge. The saying „that's a tough nut to crack“ can definitely be taken literally with the coconut. But it is not even a real nut. Because of its anatomy the coveted palm fruit is counted to the species of stone fruit, which also includes plums or cherries. The coconut even holds the record as largest stone fruit at all.

When it comes to the coconut one differentiates between yellow ripe fruit and green unripe fruits. What is offered as coconuts by fruit trades in this country is actually just the kernel. While hanging at the palm tree it is still surrounded by a very thick fibrous layer. The fruity fresh coconut water is mainly located in the immature green fruit whose skin is still a little firmer. During the maturation of the coconut, the coconut water inside decreases. On the contrary the proportion of the delicious flesh increases. In the Pacific and much of Southeast Asia fresh coconut water is a popular soft drink that is sold on the roadside. Glasses or cups are not needed. Instead, a small hole for the straw is beaten into the coconut. Also with us coconut water, coconut juice and coconut milk become more and more popular. However, the terms coconut water and coconut milk are not synonyms. Coconut juice is mainly known by the term coconut water in Germany. It is almost as transparent as normal water and its consistency has a minimally higher viscosity. A young coconut contains up to one liter of coconut water. It has a very gentle and sweetish mild flavor. Therefore, it is preferably consumed as a pure refreshing drink. However, it also tastes fantastic when mixed with other beverages. Coconut milk in turn is not located in the fruit, but must be manufactured. For this purpose, water is pureed with the white flesh of the fruit and filtered afterwards. The creamy consistency and the white color of the coconut milk emerge due to the coconut fat that is embodied in the pulp. Coconut milk can be enjoyed pure, but it also fits great with breakfast cereal, coffee and moreover is also a great bakery ingredient.

For Dr. Antonio Martins, the term coconut water does not do justice to the tropical cult drink. He prefers to speak of coco juice. Born in Brazilian Goiania, he knows the juice of coconuts since his childhood. As an internationally recognized specialist in sports medicine,
nutritional medicine and pediatrics, he started early to intensively deal with the coco juice. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to get in Europe. Thus Dr. Antonio Martins decided to take matters into his own hands. For many years, peasants that wanted to grow coconuts purely organically were searched. Moreover methods for bottling coconut juice were developed. Dr. Antonio Martins Coco Water and Coco Milk are delivered in the convenient beverage carton.
