According to a column published in the Sri Lankan Sunday Observer, coconut water was called the fluid of life. The article stated that it could be used as a stand-in for blood plasma because it is sterile, pyrogen-free, does not produce heat and does not destroy blood cells.
Coconut water can be used (in emergencies) as a substitute for blood plasma. The reason for this is that coconut water (the water found in coconuts – not to be confused with coconut milk, which comes from the flesh of the coconut) has an ideal pH level. Coconut water is liquid endosperm that surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition.
