Relevant passages copied and pasted:

"Instead, the shell itself is lined with a layer of rich, white "meat,"
and the hollow at the center is filled with a thin slightly sweet
liquid called "coconut water" that can be used as a beverage."

" The coconut water should smell of coconut and not be rancid and
should be refrigerated and used within one day."
