Buko, young coconut

Buko juice is a popular refreshing drink from the Philippines. “Buko” is a Filipino word which means “young coconut” in English. Buko juice is also known as coconut milk drink or just simply coconut water. It's a very refreshing and healthy drink, it contains a lot of electrolytes, and minerals to replenish hydration levels in the body that's why it can be used as an energy drink or liquid replacement for people suffering diarrhoea. Drinking the buko juice directly from the fresh coconut is difficult. I recommend using a straw if available!

I recommend using a straw if available. I got all wet here.


Here are some of the beneficial effects of coconut water:

Prevents Kidney Stones
Drinking buko juice has beneficial effects on the body, especially in preventing the formation of kidney stones.

Reduces Sugar Levels
It contains a great amount of magnesium, which has the ability to increase the sensitivity of insulin that can reduce the blood sugar levels.

Regulates Blood Pressure
It is an excellent source of potassium and fights the buildup of sodium, which is one of the major causes of clogging in the arteries that can result in cardiovascular diseases and even cardiac arrest.

Improves Digestion
Coconut water is rich in enzymes that help our digestive system to flush out toxins from the body.

Keeps Us Hydrated
This juice was composed of well-balanced fluid containing sugar and calories, which fight dehydration. Experts suggested athletes to drink coconut water to prevent dehydration.

Where to find fresh buko juice

Go to nearest wet market, find the guy who sell coco nuts and ask for buko juice. Expect to pay around 20 PHP.
