I live in Cambodia and drink freshly cut coconuts 4 to 6 times a week. Easy to obtain from vendors on the side of the roads. Yes, they used coconuts here as a saline replacement during the wars years. Sorry, but I don’t think there’s anything magic about them. They’re a good source of potassium, not so much the sodium - and that’s the important thing to replenish on rides. I still take my electrolyte tablets too.
