It is said that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." However, comparing 100 g of RAW COCONUT MEAT and 100 g of FRESH COCONUT WATER to 100 g of RAW APPLE WITH SKIN yields the following: ENERGY: Coconut Meat has 354 kCal, Coconut Water has 19 kCal, and Apple has 52 kCal; CARBOHYDRATES: Coconut Meat 15.23 g, Coconut Water 3.71 g, and Apple 13.81 g; SUGARS: Coconut Meat 6.23 g, Coconut Water 0, and Apple 10.39 g; DIETARY FIBER: Coconut Meat 9 g, Coconut Water 1.1 g, and Apple 2.4 g; FAT: Coconut Meat 33.49 g, Coconut Water .2 g, and Apple .17 g; SATURATED: Coconut Meat 29.7 G, Coconut Water 0, Apple 0; MONOUNSATURATED: Coconut Meat 1.43 g, Coconut Water 0, Apple 0; POLYUNSATURATED: Coconut Meat .37 g, Coconut Water 0, Apple 0; PROTEIN: Coconut Meat 3.3g, Coconut Water.7 g, Apple .26 g; THIAMINE (B1): Coconut Meat .066 mg, Coconut Water .03 mg, Apple .17 mg; RIBOFLAVIN (B2): Coconut Meat .02 mg, Coconut Water .057 mg, Apple .026 mg; NIACIN (B3): Coconut Meat .54 mg, Coconut Water .08 mg, Apple .091 mg; PANTOTHENIC ACID (B5): Coconut Meat .3 mg, Coconut Water .043 mg, Apple .061 mg; PYRIDOXINE (B6): Coconut Meat .054 mg, Coconut Water .032 mg, Apple .041 mg; FOLATE (B9): Coconut Meat 26 mcg, Coconut Water 3 mcg, Apple 3 mcg; VIT.

But it doesn't have Sodium, Potassium, Manganese, and Copper. Actually, we can aptly say that "A coconut a day keeps the doctor away." But we must use our coconuts.
