tender-king-coconut-6-pieces-sri-lanka King coconut, a variety of coconut indigenous to the tropical island of Sri Lanka, is truly the KING of coconuts. Known by its bright orange colored shell, king coconut has been consumed fresh off the tree and enjoyed as a refreshing, rejuvenating beverage by the island people of Sri Lanka for centuries past. It contains natural electrolyte levels so close to human blood plasma that it works rehydration wonders in a matter of minutes! A single serving of it contains more potassium than a banana and has a better composition of calcium and magnesium than an orange! It is so well-loved by Sri Lankans for its unique taste and life-giving properties, that it is easily chosen over the green coconut, which also grows freely on the island.
