Brilio.net - Coconut water is not only delicious to drink, but is also often used as an ingredient in various food preparations. In addition to its refreshing taste, coconut water also has many health benefits. Reported from medicalnewstoday.com, coconut water is rich in antioxidants, can improve heart health, stabilize blood sugar levels, and maintain kidney health. Because of its various benefits, many people like to keep a stock of coconut water at home.
However, coconut water can easily go bad if stored incorrectly. If left at room temperature, coconut water usually only lasts about 2-3 hours, as reported by deccanchronicle.com. That's why many people choose to store it in the freezer to make it last longer.
But it turns out, there is another way to store coconut water so that it stays fresh without having to freeze it in the freezer. This trick was shared by a netizen on the TikTok account @tataruma.co. In his video, he admitted that he often stores coconut water without having to put it in the freezer. With this simple trick, coconut water can last up to 5 days without going stale! Curious about how? Let's see more!
First of all, when buying, he asked the seller to put the coconut water in an airtight bottle, so that there was no need to use plastic anymore to keep it hygienic. Next, when the coconut water has been brought home, the flesh and water can be separated first. The flesh can also be stored in an airtight box.
"I separate the meat from the water, because they say it lasts longer this way," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @tataruma.co.

After that, coconut water can be stored in the lower refrigerator cabinet, not the freezer. Well, the owner of the TikTok account @tataruma.co also explained that coconut water should be placed on the inside shelf of the refrigerator, not on the door.
"Never put it in the door because the door is not a stable temperature, so it must be placed inside the refrigerator," said TikTok @tataruma.co.
Reported from eatingwell.com, the refrigerator door is often opened and closed, so the storage shelf on the refrigerator door is certainly often exposed to normal air temperatures that are warmer than the refrigerator temperature. As a result, if there is often a change in temperature, the risk is that coconut water will spoil faster if stored on the refrigerator door shelf than inside the refrigerator.
