I dont know what you mean by "Green" coconut water. If you are looking for just plain coconut water which we drink in India, you can find it in Whole Foods. It has no added ingredients. Just plain coconut water. Tastes delicious.

hi shobana,
thanks for the quick reply.
In india we drink coconut water from the coconut which are green in colour.I dont want coconut water from the ones which are in brown colour (which we used to take to temples).

Can we buy it in walmart? if not pls let me know where can we buy?

the green coconut water can be bought at whole foods but it is expensive! however, check out your local asian stores such as chinese and korean markets, they carry the actual green coconut, generally imported from thailand. opening it can be a pain, but a good hammer and a screwdriver works for me.

Hi Surekha,

u cn get it any indian groceries or chinese.i used to get it in indian groceries only...

Surekha,

u can find this in Indian Stores ( it is usually kept in Fridge . it is in a can like Coke can) .
Also u can find the same canned coconut water in Walmart too. It is kept in the aisle close to coconut milk.
If u have any Big indian grocery store like Patel brothers etc , they have the whole tender cocount u need to snap a whole and drink.

Isn't that called TENDER COCONUT?

Yes ! Tender coconut in English and Elaneer in Tamil.

You can try vita coco 100% pure coconut water. I've seen amazon selling for it as a pack or ZICO pure coconut water (this one has better reviews than the vita coco). But I have heard that these bottled coconut water have an after taste (not like the Indian ones). I usually buy from the indian grocery stores. But even those ones don't taste like the ones you get it from India. Just for relishing your taste buds you can buy some bottled coconut water (tender coconut) from trader joe's or whole foods.
