We all know coconut. It grows at the heart of the tropics and resides in the soul of the tropical culture. Its green fruit is a treasure trove; the water is refreshing, the kernel provides milk and oil, the husk gives fibre, and the list is lengthy. That’s about the green fruit.
The orange-coloured coconut is known to many as ‘King Coconut’ for the vivacious colour that sets it apart and possibly for its water, so delightful and refreshing that it is worthy of a place in a king’s feast.
Calappa nucifera (L.) in science and ‘Thaembili’ or ‘Tennai’ for the islanders, King Coconut is native to Sri Lanka. A remarkable member of the coconut family, it makes a kingly presence in Ayurveda and cuisine culture on the island blessed with King Coconut.
With many healing and powerful properties to its name, there is no wonder that King Coconut made its way into the health, beauty, and wellbeing of the islanders, who truly know how to enjoy the gift of nature bestowed on them.
King Coconut has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. So it could be said that the ‘King’ can ward off the ‘evil eye’ of some diseases, helping the free radicals in your body fight infections. And this ‘sweet’ drink, ironically, is good for people with diabetes. King Coconut can help control blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol levels as well. And guess what’s a fair substitute for life-saving saline? That’s right, King Coconut it is.
Many beauty products lined up in supermarket isles claim to include King Coconut in them. King Coconut Shampoo to relieve dandruff, King Coconut oil for strong hair follicles and so on. Why those products are eager to claim the benefits of King Coconut for themselves is because King Coconut has plenty to offer, beauty-wise. The islanders use homemade King Coconut oil for hair growth, and it is also known to be used as an eyewash as the King Coconut water is soothing. King Coconut also has moisturising and anti-ageing properties, which, at this point, sounds too good to be true. But it is true.
Back in the days of kings and kingdoms, the island’s ayurvedic physicians used a brew made of King Coconut to expel heat from the body. This property is what brings us to the biggest reason King Coconut is beloved in the country situated just above the equator.
It’s refreshing.
Imagine being under the blazing sun of the tropics almost every day of the year, sweating profusely as you step out of the shade, and just longing for a sip of a cool refresher. King Coconut is a divine feast for such a parched soul.
There is science in it of course, not simply absolute faith in the King Coconut water’s powers of refreshment. The feeling of freshness that comes with a few gulps of King Coconut water is a result of its ability to balance the body’s electrolytes. Its high water content, high nutritional value and low calories make it the ideal energy drink that refreshes as much as it energises.
We have utmost faith in the science of King Coconut and in the sweet, refreshing thirst quencher, that we wanted to share it. Really, King Coconut should not be kept to oneself. It’s a joy to behold, and an absolute bliss to drink. That’s why our Kicovera fits you perfectly because whether it’s the energy you seek, refreshment, or nourishment, we have it all packed inside Kicovera, courtesy of the King of Coconut from the land of, well, coconuts.
