The liquid from the Fresh coconuts is a very popular drink in Costa Rica. They sell them along the roadsides with just a straw stuck in a hole. They also sell it bottled in the grocery stores. It is called agua de pipa. It's supposed to be very good for your urinary system and helps prevent kidney stones. I've had a kidney stone a few times and they gave it to me to drink. Horrible stuff, as far as I am concerned. But my housemate Carlos is almost addicted to them. Every Saturday we buy three pipas, as they are called here. He first drinks the liquid and then he eats the raw coconut.
