Coconut water when mixed with hot water is supposed to turn the regular water alkaline and therefore a "cancer cell" killer. I have no scientific proof to this but there is absolute no side effects for this kind of use. Only good can come out of it. | Coconut water when mixed with hot water is supposed to turn the regular water alkaline and therefore a "cancer cell" killer.

Used as a bowl: When the coconut is split in half, with the "eyes" facing up or down, the other half without the "eyes" can be used a bowl. The bottom of this half shell is not flat so it leans to the side. In order to use the half coconut shell as a serving bowl a base must be made. The base is usually made out of any piece of wood (4"x4"x2"). The center of this base is carved out, so there is a hole in a form of a circle in this base. The coconut bowl is then placed in this hole of the base. It is a perfect fit. The hot soup in the bowl won't spill as it passed around the table. | Used as a bowl: When the coconut is split in half, with the "eyes" facing up or down, the other half without the "eyes" can be used a bowl.
