10 Wonderful Health Benefits Of Coconut Water For Kids

Coconut is incredibly nutritious and offers a wealth of health advantages. It is a delightful, nutritious tropical fruit. All types of coconut, including raw coconut, water, milk, and oil, are beneficial to your body. It offers both aesthetic and health advantages. Speaking of coconut water, many homes choose to sip it each morning as soon as they awaken. In essence, this liquid is the juice found in the endosperm, the inside cavity of young, green coconuts.

Coconut water is fed to infants between the ages of six and eight months, and doctors advise against giving the child coconut chunks instead of just coconut water. Coconut water is typically able to be digested by babies and newborns as soon as they begin eating solid foods.

Babies younger than six months old shouldn’t drink coconut water because it could cause allergic reactions. Because coconut water is known to have a lot of sugar and sodium, it is advised to mix it with rice before giving it to infants to lessen the flavour.

Diabetics and persons following special diets are the two groups who favour coconut. The majority of diabetics can consume a teaspoon of well-fermented water kefir without their blood sugar levels being affected. However, if your blood sugar level is excessive, we advise switching to fermented coconut water. Coconuts that are still soft contain only a small amount of sugar. The sugar content decreases substantially during fermentation. The wonderful probiotic drink is high in vitamins and minerals and supports intestinal health while being very low in sugar. Additionally, coconut kefir water may fizz like soda if you ferment it for a longer period of time with a tight lid.

The following are a few of the delicate coconut water nutritional benefits:

· The first and most important nutritional benefit is that it is a great drink to cool yourself in the summer heat and has a very low calorie count.

· Water from a tender coconut helps with digestion.

· hydrates our body to prevent dehydration.

· It contains a lot of antioxidants, which reduce the incidence of illnesses.

· The tender coconut water contains cytokinins that have potent anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic actions.

· It supplies magnesium, calcium, potassium, salt, and helps maintain a healthy level of electrolytes in the body.

· lowers blood sugar levels and improves other diabetes-related health problems.

· Numerous investigations and research have led researchers to the conclusion that coconut water may help lower the risk of heart disease.

· The best treatment to lower blood cell levels of cholesterol and triglycerides is tender coconut water.

· Here are a few advantages of tender coconut water for your health and as a food source. When compared to other beverages, it is secure and healthful. Daily consumption of this coconut water lowers blood pressure, promotes weight loss, improves athletic performance, enhances energy, lessens cellulite, and relaxes muscles.

Coconut Lavender Tartlets Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Tart Shells:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1-2 tablespoons ice water

For the Coconut Custard:

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lavender extract (or a few fresh lavender buds, finely crushed)

For the Whipped Coconut Cream:

1 can (14 ounces) coconut cream, chilled overnight

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

Toasted coconut flakes

Lavender buds

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Make the Tart Shells:

In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.

Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.

Press the dough into tartlet molds and prick the bottom with a fork.

Chill for 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.

Prepare the Coconut Custard:

Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.

Gradually whisk in coconut milk, ensuring no lumps form.

Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and lavender extracts. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into the cooled tart shells. Chill until set.

Make the Whipped Coconut Cream:

Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the chilled can, leaving any liquid behind.

Whip the coconut cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Assemble the Tartlets:

Once the custard is set, spoon or pipe the whipped coconut cream onto each tartlet.

Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, lavender buds, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Serve:

Allow the tartlets to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

"As mentioned in the last post, we have knafeh (or kunafa), a buttery dessert made with shredded pastry layers such as cheese and other ingredients like pistacho or cream!"

"Burbara; which comes from Saint Barbara, fun fact! It's a soup dessert that mainly consists of barley, licorice spices, anise, cinnamon, and fennel powder This is a dessert usually many Christian families have to celebrate Saint Barbara, which is December 4th!"

"Malban, which resembles a fruit jelly! Made from starch and sugar Specifically, it's made with grape molasses, thickened with starch and flavored with rose water, and stuffed with almonds (or other nuts including walnuts, treenuts, and peanuts)"

"Khabeesa is simply just a pudding made with grapes, but you prepare it by mixing the grape juice with semolina and nuts + seeds."

"Mtabbak or mtabba, a crispy dough stuffed with crushed walnuts. It also contains cinnamon, sugar, and syrup. Photo credits go to Bartek Kieżun on Instagram"

"Tamriyeh, a fried pastry filled with semolina pudding, scenter with mastic and orange blossom water, and topped off with powdered sugar"

"Ka'ak bi Tamer, which are date paste filled cookies with cinnamon! A dessert made for Eid-Alfitr. It's topped with nigella seeds, and the cinnamon-spiced date paste is the most important part of it all– you can eat it on its own or have it with coffee"

"+ Ka'ak Asawer, another dessert that can be prepared for Eid-Alfitr. It's translated to bracelet cookies, and they use date paste, flour, anise seeds, sugar, ground cinnamon, and olive oil"

"Muhallebi or mahalabia, a milk pudding that's made with sugar, corn starch, and fragrant flavorings! It's topped off with nuts, pistachos, and almonds and sprinkled with ground cinnamon or shredded coconut"

"Namoura cake, aka harissa dessert! It's made with semolina or farina flour, and then topped off with syrup once baked"

"Qatayef, which is eaten during the month of Ramadan. It's made of farina, flour, water, and yeast blended together– the process is pretty similiar to making pancakes, but only one side is cooked"

"Since I've mentioned using zaatar for a lot of things, I recently just discovered this but– there's also things such as zaatar cookies!! It's just as implied that the cookies are filled with zaatar, I'd be so willing to make this on my own"

"Baklava, made from phyllo pastry dough, butter, nuts, basil, and a sweet honey syrup"

"Aish el saraya, arabic version of a bread pudding. It's basically a layered bread, where it starts from the bottom, then covered with a sweet syrup, cream, and crumbled pistachios."
