Coconut Water

Coconut Water

I have recently become hooked on coconut water. It has a very light and refreshing taste and more potassium than a banana. One serving of it has 60 calories and no fat, this is the water, not the milk… big difference. All over the tropics people drink coconut water everyday, but here in New York it is very new on the scene. I am very bullish on coconut water, you heard it here first, Zico is the next Snapple.

    I love coconut water… but ZICO tates very VERY artificial!

    THEIR FLAVORED COCONUT WATER TASTES LIKE MEDICINE!

    There are quite a few 100% natural coconut waters brands:

    GOYA http://www.goya.com

    GRACE http://www.gracefoods.com

    O.N.E. Coconut Water http://www.onenaturalexperience.com

    I do not like flavored coconut water at all!

  3. Mildly sweetened young coconut water with the little pecies inside is a delicay in Sri Lanka for ages.

    I tried Cocofina the other day and it seems to be the closest to the natural coconut water.

    I love ZICO and it has changed my workouts–giving me energy during my spinning classes. I love the flavors and mix ZICO in the morning in my protein smoothies.

    I have tried ZICO as well and LOVE IT!
    Actually it takes totally authentic.I have served the “Natural” at a few parties and people (especially central americans and indians) think its straight from the cocunut. Personally, I love the “Mango”.

  7. Michael says:

    The original Zico tastes absolutely great. It’s tough to beat it after a workout or when you’re hungover!

  8. Roberto says:

    I love ZICO, as it tastes just like it was out of the nut. As a matter of fact, being from the tropics, ZICO has a consistent taste, something hard to find in coconut water. I use it on the bike and the potassium is great to avoid cramps…

    Why is Zico not organic?

  11. Tina B says:

    your right Bruno…. Vitacoco has an after taste but they all do . I was told all the brazilian coconut water in tetrapaks come from the same manufacturer… In fact anyone can import it ….just come up with your own label and the manufacturer will put it on and show help you market it …. seems to be working out well for a lot of people lately.

  12. Chris says:

    Tina,all coconut water coming from Brazil is not from the same manufacturer

  13. Andy says:

    VITACOCO PINEAPLE FLAVOR HAS COCONUT MILK ON IT!! HOW CAN THEY CALL THEMSELVES COCONUT WATER IF THEY HAVE FAT ON IT???

    I HATE COMPANIES THAT LIE TO CONSUMERS!

  14. Joe says:

    Even the pure coconut water from VitaCoco has a weird after taste. I don’t like it at all.

  15. Lori Montgomery says:

    Aloha, I am looking to get my own label of coconut water here in Hawaii. Can you help me find the right export company out of Brazil that might do this? Thanks, Lori

  16. Brad says:

    Lori Montgomery,

    Go crack our own Hawaiian Coconuts!

    Support US agriculture woman!

  17. Scott says:

    Can anyone reccomend a store in Manhattan where I can actually get fresh coconut water right from the coconut

  18. Andrea says:

    HAVE YOU GUYS TRIED EQ THIRST EQUALIZER??
    I found it in Whole foods in Orlando.I am a runner and the bottle works for me. The others
    are like juice boxes with the kiddie straw.
    EQ is the best coconut water I have tasted so far. I like the tropical flavors.

  19. wes says:

    Does anyone know who manufactures ZICO?

  20. Jordan says:

    I have tried and loved DR. Tims coconut water. It is very fresh and great for hydration before, during, and after workouts!!!! you can buy it at Harmons, some Whole Foods, some Albertsons, and soon to be at GNC!!!

  21. jahjah says:

    brazilian coconut water – there are 2 companies that do pretty much all the tetra-pack products. So yes, most all the coconut water coming out of Brazil comes from the same source… one might say.

  22. Jenny says:

    Why does ONE coconut water tastes SO MUCH BETTER than Zico and Vitacoco?

  23. Jim says:

    Does any one know the contact details of the Brazillian Coconut water manufacturers ?
