Nutiva Coconut Oil - nutiva coconut oil, organic

Click here for more information I've tried two of the major coconut oil brands that I order via the internet. I've been using the oil in food and on my skin for about 5 years. I ordered this just to see how it tasted because the price was so good, if it didn't taste right, I'd just use it on my skin. It is the BEST tasting oil I've tried. Tropical Traditions, Coconut Oil Supreme pale in comparison. This is truly a coconut oil you could eat right out of the jar. If you want to try a coconut oil that tastes as good as it smells, this is it. And the price is fabulous. Yea, Nutiva and Amazon!

I love this coconut oil! It has a delicate coconut aroma and flavor. I have only just started using it but have found it to be delicious when making pancakes in lieu of using butter. I have also used it as a substitute for butter when making grilled cheese sandwiches and baked sweet potatoes. It will do wonders for your hair and skin too. I especially like using it as a hot oil treatment for my hair. I mix the coconut oil with a few drops of lemon essential oil and rub it into my hair. It smells like dessert and good for my hair and scalp. Try it with your favorite essential oils!



Warning: It melts at 76F. Be careful when opening a jar that's been sitting in a warm cupboard.

The skin is a great delivery system for absorbing things into your body. So what are you putting on your skin? Read the ingredients on your handcream or body lotion. Are they good for you? Don't know? Can you even pronounce them? Let's keep it simple. Virgin organic coconut oil. Snowy white, unrefined, heavenly smell - this stuff is terrific!! Solid at room temperature, smooth and buttery and melts at 76 degrees; cook/fry with it on low heat for a healthy and fragrant alternative to all those ulgy refined oils and hydrogenated trans fats (YUCK!), use as a lighter butter or shortening alternative (there's not a lot of flavor and the smell is intoxicating); use as hand cream (rub it on - only gets greasy if you really over load the area) I use it as a body lotion all over my body (my skin feels soft and smooth like it did when I was a child), hair conditioner (a light deep conditioner); anti-fungal properties (put it between your toes for goodness sake!) make-up remover - voila! ear wax? I put a tiny bit of this on a q-tip; moist toilette wipes? ssshh... try a touch of this on your t.p. - and I could go on and on... It must be organic and virgin coconut oil - anything else is something else and unexceptable. I understand that it is fine for diets, and speeds up the metabolism (its those little medium fatty acid chains). Don't take my word for it - read all about it for yourself! And yes, I feed it to my dog and cat, my cat loves it - and he won't eat anything! Actually, I don't think that he can resist the smell, I can't! Another one of those items that I out on my favorite things list!

This is amazing. I like it better than all other coconut oils. Of course it tastes like coconut. I don't want to use oils that are so overly processed and refined that they taste like "nothing". I don't understand why the coconut flavor bothers some people. If you don't like coconut, find a different oil.



You can use this for grilling, frying, baking, sauteeing, greasing & flouring a cake pan, and all other places that you'd use butter or a Crisco-type product. Just be careful on the baking because this melts at a low temperature.



It is amazing as a skin softener, a hair conditioner, a leave in hot oil treatment, make-up remover, eyelash conditioner/glosser, shaving "cream", lip softener, cuticle oil, nail conditioner, bath oil, after bath oil, massage oil (add a few drops of essential oil if you wish), etc. Speaking of massage oil, this is an excellent product for "adult activities" . . . as a perk it is definitely edible.



If you have dry feet, slather this on, rub it in, wrap your feet with plastic wrap, cover with socks, and go to bed. In the morning your feet will feel nice and soft.



This can be used on leather such as shoes, jackets, and purses. Because it's clear, you can use it on leather products that have decorative stitching that you can't cover with regular colored polish. (In fact, I just bent over and put coconut oil on my black leather shoes with my fingers . . . the only clean up needed was to rub my hands together.)



I've even used it on my wood furniture to obtain the same results as furniture oils. I have used it to grease hinges and mechanical parts. I have heard that you can use it to add lustre to pearls but I'm too chicken to try it on my good stuff.



I know people that have used it as a laxative (in large quantities) and a diet aid. When I eat about a T. a day my skin is softer and my wrinkles are less noticable.



I keep finding new uses. I'm sure you'll find some, too.

I first tried coconut oil last fall after reading The Coconut Oil Miracle (***highly recommended book***) and Nutiva's Organic Coconut Oil was the first I tried. It spoiled me completely. I've since tried two other brands and NOTHING tastes as fresh and light as this oil. It has a nice coconut flavor and personally, I love the taste it gives fried eggs and even pancakes. I also used it to make a pie crust (after chilling the oil slightly to compensate for the friction of working the pie crust) for a coconut cream pie and it was out of this world--flaky and delicious!!! Like another poster, I also like it spread on a toasted English muffin and then topped with a light drizzle of honey.



Our family has changed our eating habits in the last year and now we use only 3 fats: 1. Coconut Oil 2. Butter 3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (but only raw---never with heat!!!!--use the coconut oil or butter for fried & sauteed foods). Our general health is much improved; my husband's cholesterol levels are finally dropping (after YEARS of using "SmartBalance" and other "healthy" spreads that just raised his cholesterol).



Try this coconut oil and do yourself a favor and order The Coconut Oil Miracle (Previously published as The Healing Miracle of Coconut Oil)so you can understand why it not only tastes so good, but is so good for you! - Nutiva Coconut Oil - Organic - Coconut - Health - Nutiva - Raw Foods

Click here for more information Coconut water and me do not mix. I have tried all of the brands out there and was very satisfied with this flavor mix. I know all about the health benefits and try to drink one a day. Much better for you than Sports drinks! If you drink too much alcohol, try this the next morning, it will help with the recovery! This flavor mix was very tasty and does not have a coconut after taste. It has the Passion fruit taste throughout the whole experience. I would recommend since the price is lower here on Amazon!

I love coconut water. It's so refreshing. I've been wanting to try some of the flavored coconut waters and grabbed this when it was on sale.



I'm sorry to say that I didn't like this flavor at all. It had a sour taste to me that I really disliked. I drank down one, but was not happy to think of drinking the other 11! sigh... I gave the rest of them to my brother and I hope he enjoyed the flavor more than I did. I wont be getting this flavor again.

Bought this to replace gatorade and all the other sports drinks that are loaded with sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors and all that other junk. This is so satisfying to drink and doesn't make you sick, you can feel the difference when you drink something so good. Lovin' it!!!!

I ordered both the coconut water and coconut water with passion fruit. I honestly was expecting to like the plain coconut water better because I'm used to having fresh coconut water, but the coconut water with passion fruit was good. There's a real passion fruit taste present in the drink and it brightens up the drink without being too overwhelming. It's definitely a great drink to have to start or end the day.

While myself and my sister are undergoing treatment for cancer, was advised to try this product Vita Coco Coconut water, what a difference it made immediately.

Hydration is so important while undergoing radiation, or chemo ,

Vita Coco, fits right into a program to help hydrate and keep your vital organs, protected.



Will drink it forever.

Thanks Jene Fielder

Great option for those who don't like the taste of plain coconut water. The passion fruit is delicious and it tastes best when served ICE COLD. Love to drink this before, during and post workout. Besides being a great hydrating tool, it helps avoid cramping as well.

Coconut water is high in potassium and a natural electrolyte. It helps to rehydrate you much faster than Gatorade only wishes it could. Depending on what you are used to drinking, you may love or hate coconut water. I think that it's a matter of getting used to a different taste more than it being "bad" or "gross." If you go into it thinking you're going to be drinking juice, think again. This is more a watered down juice-like drink, but it has much less sugar and doesn't give a sugar shock that leaves you wishing for more to drink.



My whole family enjoys this brand and this specific flavor combo. We all do not enjoy plain ole coconut water and really liked the juice-like taste of this flavor. It works for us, but your family may enjoy another flavor better. I would try several flavors before deciding on one or none at all. I had this as a Subscribe & Save item for over a year, until Amazon told me I no longer could buy it that way. I was devastated.



I searched on Amazon to see if I could find something comparable. After ordering the O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash of Passion Fruit, 8.5-Ounce Aseptic Containers (Pack of 12) a month ago, I, as well as another family member, finally decided to try one today. We both had the same reaction..."this doesn't taste as good as the brand we had been drinking." Hence my coming to Amazon tonight to write a review of the O.N.E. product... Now I wish I hadn't ordered 3 whole boxes of it! I thought @ $10/box of 12 I couldn't go wrong. Hmm, maybe I was wrong!



But enough of O.N.E. Coconut Water with Passion Fruit, Vita Coco Coconut Water with Passion Fruit tastes so much better! If you're sick and feeling dehydrated, this is what you need. If you've just done a big workout and nothing can quench your thirst, this is what you need. If you're feeling a little run done or have a headache that just won't quit, this is what you need.



Luckily, my dislike of O.N.E. brand led me back to Amazon to see that I could once again order Vita Coco Coconut Water with Passion Fruit as a Subscribe & Save. Comparably, the price difference is negligible: ounce for ounce it is just about the same. I only wish I hadn't been ousted before! - Coconut Water - Coconut - Delicious - Sports Drink - Vitacoco - Cooking

Coconut Oil - nutiva, cooking

Click here for more information Nutiva's Organic coconut oil is the best I've found. I've tried several brands, but nothing tastes as clean and pure as this. There is a definite undertone of coconut, but I like the flavor, even when frying eggs or eating it on cinnamon raisin toast. I recently had bloodwork done and my HDL (the good cholesterol) was an impressive 77---anything over 39 is considered in range; over 50 is heart protective). I attribute this great HDL number to using only coconut oil, butter, and olive oil in my cooking & drinking green tea.



Amazon's Subscribe & Save offer is a great deal; I really like the 2 pack of these smaller (15 oz) jars. We're a small household and I like keeping one jar sealed while using the other. Keep in mind that coconut oil is different than other oils--it is solid at temperatures under 72, so it will look something like shortening in the wintertime. Still tastes great and is wonderful to use in all kinds of cooking.



One more important detail: this is an organic, COLD PRESSED coconut oil. Others may be organically grown, but I've found some brands are hydrogenated to make them solid at room temperature (I won't go into all the reasons this is not a "good thing"). Suffice it to say that any coconut oil you buy should be cold pressed (and that goes for your olive oil, as well). Google to find out why...



Happy eating!

This is a marvelous product with some interesting health benefits (google it up). You can use it in baking, frying, in sauces, for vegan raw pies, mix with chocolate for puddings, moisturize your hair or skin, soothe rough elbows, etc.



This melts really fast in a pan, so you don't need a high heat. I fry eggs in it, and the coconut taste is subtle. Any ethnic dish that requires sauteeing or saucing and can benefit from a fresh coconut flavor, this is useful. I've cooked meats in it, as well. If you hate the smell/taste of coconut, obviously, this is not for you.



This brand, Nutiva, is organic and virgin. It smells so good. And I have an old jar that I never finished (really big one), and nearly two years later, after sitting right by the stove, it still smells fresh, like Cuban coconut candy my mom used to make. Yes, solid and fresh and white and fragrant TWO YEARS LATER. This is a very stable product.



Recommended.

First things first: the flavour of this coconut oil is wonderful. Very clean on the tongue with just a slight back hint of coconut flavour. YES, this WILL slightly flavour some of your dishes to taste faintly of coconut if the dish is not heavily spiced. When I use coconut oil in place of butter for many Ethiopian and Indian dishes, I don't really notice any coconut flavour--but these are heavily spiced cuisines and so the sheer level of spice involved will cover up the delicate coconut flavour of this oil. In baking, however, there is a wonderful little hint of it. When I've made cookies and cakes using this in place of shortening or butter, many people have commented that something felt different about the dessert, but they couldn't put their finger on it right away until I would suggest coconut. I say all of this, though, in case someone who absolutely HATES coconut is considering using coconut oil as a part of their diet. While it has many great health benefits, if you cannot stand the flavour of coconut in any shape or form, you probably will not enjoy this product. I personally enjoy the added depth and dimension is gives my food, as well as the fact it's cholesterol free.



If you're thinking this wouldn't taste like anything, then you're thinking of what is called "RBD coconut oil", that is to say, coconut oil which has been refined, bleached, and deodorised. This is not that product, and in my opinion, is far superior to any RBD coconut oil you could find.



Now, the health benefits. Coconut gets props for being cholesterol free. Many people want to downplay its wonderfulness by pointing out that it is loaded in saturated fats. However! The saturated fats found in coconut oil are mostly medium-chain fatty acids, which bind together to form medium-chain triglycerides. Medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs, are much easier for the body to break down and process than long-chain triglycerides, which are the saturated fats that are usually predominant in our diets. Because MCTs are so easily broken down in the body, they don't put a great strain on your pancreas or digestive system. Coconut oil is not a cure-all, however. It's not some miracle food (IMO), but I do think it should be seen as a healthy, viable alternative to butter and some cooking oils. Should it replace these other oils and butter outright? No, I don't think so. But I think it deserves a place of respect alongside your butter and olive oil in the kitchen.

I've been using this brand for a couple of years now. It has a light coconut hint at times. I use it for popping corn and I can't taste any coconut, other items like meats or veggies sometimes have a hint of coconut...it's not necessarily a bad thing.



I thought I would save washing a spoon each time I used this and put in a clear, plastic spoon (Kirkland brand) into the jar so I could reuse it. DON'T KEEP PLASTIC IN YOUR COCONUT OIL!!! About 1 week later I went to make popcorn and I pulled out the handle of the spoon with no bottom of the spoon to be found!!! The acid in the coconut oil will eat away at certain plastics! Had to throw the 1/2 full jar away! Lesson learned! Just reordered and went on subscribe and save. - Nutiva - Cooking - Good Fats - Coconut - Moisturizer - Body Care

Healthy Eating - health, sports drink

Click here for more information I was deployed to Iraq last year with the US Marine Corps. My wife sent me some of these which I put into the mini fridge that my hut had. After a 12 hour combat resupply mission, coming back to the hut and having one of these made me feel almost human again. I actually started saving them for the hottest/longest days. The taste is a little different, if you are used to gatorade or coke, but it is nice. Drink it cold.

To me, this is good but nowhere near as good as the pineapple flavor. I think the mango just does not compliment the peach, BUT, it's still good and appears to be healthy and has a reasonable amount of calories. It was between a 3 and 4 for me so I rounded up to 4.



It's light and refreshing, like water with mango, peach, and coconut flavor added. It doesn't taste phony either. It is 100% natural and it tastes natural. Too good to be just flavored water. It tastes more like a light fruit juice. I had mine chilled. It is imported from Brazil. A plastic twist-off cap allows you to stick in a straw easily, without hammering the package to punch it through. A single package is about 6 inches high, with 3 inch diagonal square shape.



One paper coated package contains 17 fluid ounces, marked as 2 servings. Per serving stats are 60 calories (so 120 calories total per package), 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 30mg sodium, 500 mg potassium, 15g sugar, 4 % calcium, 4 % phosphorus, 175 % vitamin C, 8 % magnesium. Ingredients, as listed in order on package are: natural coconut water, mango puree, peach puree, ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The package states it is 100 % natural, has more electrolytes than leading sports drinks with 15 times the potassium, and has more potassium than 2 bananas.



So--- it is good, refreshing, healthy, easily packable, and easily openable. (It's ok. I can make up words. I work for the government.) I really like the high potassium content, too. (Note--I am NOT a doctor.) As the sweltering East Coast heat and humidity approaches, potassium helps with the fluid you lose. Whether you are on fluid pills, or working outside in the eat, or running and jogging for your health, or hiking, or your children are playing and running in the heat, it's a real good idea to keep those potassium levels up. Low potassium levels, as I understand it, can be harmful, leading to cramps in your legs or worse--maybe even making you pass out. Anyway, this is good and it sure tastes a lot better to me than Gatoraid (yuk). So, check it out, and read up on "potassium" before the heat gets here.

I've tired almost all of the vita cocos besides the tangerine and grape fruit and I can say this is the really not that bad. The peach flavor kinda balances it out with the coconut water. The nutrition is equal to the pineapple but not the acai(acai is still better). here is the nutrition for the peach

Over all this is one of my favorite flavors. Still got two other flavors to try.

I've tried other coconut waters and Vita Coco is the best. There flavors taste fantastic and it is a healthier alternative to sugary sports drinks. I was working 12 hour days in a hot building all summer and no issues with cramping when I drank one of these a day. The peach and mango is my favorite.

Mango has a specific scent and flavor - if you like it, this is a nice way to drink coconut juice. A big advantage of coconut water - being alkaline - is wiped out by the fruit acids - giving this mix overall an acidic ph. You still get the minerals from the coconut water.

My friend purchased a 12-pack of the Tangerine-flavored Vitacoco and it was excellent. Really light flavor, refreshing, perfect bit of citrus. I decided to try a different flavor, so I bought a 12-pack of the Peach & Mango. Let me say this - it is honestly one of the foulest things I've ever tasted. I was able to drink half of one container before pouring the rest out in disgust. Reminds me of when I was a teenager and I was forcing down my first mixed alcoholic drink, and the taste was nearly unbearable. I had my friend try a container, and his was awful, too.



I don't know if I got a bad batch or if this is how Peach & Mango is supposed to taste but I am thoroughly dissatisfied. My friend ordered a variety pack, so we're gonna compare the Peach & Mango from his pack to get to the bottom of this. I know this much... I will never buy the flavor again. I'm going back to Tangerine. I won't even experiment with the other flavors, either, after this experience.

I have tried many flavors of Vita Coco coconut water and this is my least favorite. It truly reminded me of baby food flavors. I did give it three stars because it is healthy and it does rehydrate. Otherwise I will not be buying this again. I will stick to plain or tangerine flavored. - Health - Sports Drink - Tasty - Health Food - Juice - Coconut

Click here for more information I have tried just about every coconut water company out there (Zico, Harvest Bay, Vita Coco, etc.) and this by far is the best and the closest to the coconut water out of fresh young coconut. Nothing will be beat drinking it right out of fresh coconut but O.N.E comes the closes.



The coconut water is supposed to taste like fresh refreshing, slight sweet water with just a hint of coconut flavor. If you taste strong flavor of coconut, it is probably over ripe or aged. This container also doesn't have any package smell as some of the other coconut water packages have.



Just remember to buy them fresh and chill them before you drink. The flavor is much better when chilled. Highly recommend buying this over the other brands.

Each of these three products has a number of reviews. I don't have much to add to any of the individual reviews. Coconut water is great, if you are in the market for a case of it you already know this. But which of these three is the best?



I went around town and found 5 boxes of each of the three brands (15 total) each, with no two boxes of a the same brand coming from the same supplier. The goal was to get a wide range of product batches. This I am happy to report was pointless. All three brands produce an internally consistent product.



I then ordered a 12 pack of all three brands from Amazon. The only significant difference in packaging is that O.N.E. glues a little telescoping straw to each individual box, the other two brands do not. If you are a straw person this is a feature if not this is just more trash, you decide. The amount per container varies slightly by brand but given the price fluctuation on Amazon I don't consider the 0.1 Oz differences an important factor.



All three are made in Brazil, O.N.E. mentions that it is pasteurized the other two do not (nevertheless, I suspect all three are).



On pure taste, at refrigerator temperature, I found Zico to be the best (say 5/5), but only nominally better than O.N.E. (4.5/5), Vita was a distant third (3/5). Both Zico and O.N.E. taste almost exactly like drinking right from a fresh green coconut. Vita, on the other hand, has a grape aftertaste which I did not like. At room temperature the order remained the same; however, the differences in taste became more obvious: Zico (5/5), O.N.E. (4/5), Vita (2/5). Obviously all of this is subjective.



I observed the price of three on Amazon over the course of a month. Zico (~$24) was consistently more expensive than the other two (~$18-21) which traded places as the least expensive.



Considering the price and quality, O.N.E. is my choice and the brand to which I now subscribe. I consider Zico an excellent, but over priced, product and Vita an inferior product. If, however, I preferred my coconut water at room temperature I would give strong consideration to paying the extra money for Zico. If I used my coconut water as a mixer I would buy which ever one is cheapest at the time.



All three products are better than nothing (the previous option) and I am happy to see them on the market.

My mom recommended to me ONE coconut water, and it's great. Great tasting, full of electrolytes, and relatively healthy.



When my Whole Foods ran out of stock, I thought I'd try the alternatives, including Zico and Vita something. Surprisingly, both weren't that great although I think in one case it may have to do with them trying to mix other juices in (i.e. not pure coconut water). Another brand I tried was worse. That's pretty sad because other than good OJ or apple juice, nothing beats coconut water and more people ought to know about it. No matter what brand you try, I wouldn't recommend non-pure coconut water like mango or other juices mixed in because it takes away from it.



I've had coconut water straight from coconuts, and this is as good as I've had. So it was a pleasant surprise when years back they started selling this stuff. In many cultures, Coconuts are a daily staple and the source of a wide range of critical nutrients. It's something people can eat and drink literally every day.



The drink is good like Gatorade after a long excercize. I hate Vitamin water and all the other sports drinks, and somewhat tolerate Gatorade. I'm surprised they don't just imitate coconut water.



Anyways, highly recommended.

Like a few of the people who wrote a review I was born and raised on a carribbean island... Barbabdos to be exact. When I came here I tried to find coconut water that actually,.. was coconut water and guess what , One coconut water is exactly that.

It taste like the young fresh coconut water that it clams to be from ... loook at the ingrediants no additives just coconut water. There is a difference between young coconuts and more aged coconuts. The older ones are much sweeter :) but the young ones are more refreshing and much healthier.

So if you dont know what you talking about..its not right to leave a negative review, because to really know the difference between coconuts you actually would have to taste the orginal product cut fresh and drink it out the nut.

One... Thanks.. I always crave coconut water during pregancy because there is nothing better than young cocnut water to keep a mother and her baby healthy and you have given me something wonderfull. - Coconut - Health - Sports Drink - Organic - Raw Foods - Delicious

This is the best way to get coconut water unless you have direct access to fresh, green coconuts. Tastes great. I prefer to use a straw to drink from the box. There's no jelly included, only the liquid coconut water. They are not cheap, but I buy from Amazon since our grocery stores don't sell coconut water. Some people don't like the taste of coconut water, but this brand is great if you do.

My husband runs and we'd read that coconut water is a much better replenishment drink than all the artificial sports drinks, so we began our search for a good brand. He is Latin American and I'm West Indian, so we're quite familiar with how this is supposed to taste. The canned drinks were awful - they picked up the taste of the can and many companies chose to add in coconut pieces which didn't do anything pleasant in terms of taste. This is by far the best brand we've tasted. It is expensive but so is Gatorade and similar drinks, so if you work out and use those, this is much better. It is higher in potassium by far, very important for post-workouts. It is also great for hangovers (hah!) and for women who've recently given birth. Essentially it does a great job of helping the body to recover and replenish essential electrolytes, so whether you go with this brand or another, coconut water is a great drink. To us, this is the best tasting and most authentic tasting brand out there. We do wish it was cheaper, but unfortunately we live in a society where it's easier to eat crap and get obese and unhealthy than it is to eat well and stay fit. (We have NOT tasted vitacoco yet...hoping to try soon. Will review again if our opinion differs after tasting!)

When I visted Thailand, a woman offered me a coconut. I nodded and she whacked it open with a machete with all the precision of a samuari, stuck a straw in it and handed it to me. It was decidedly different and unlike any other coconut product I had before. I enjoyed several of these while I was there, and some European tourists asked how was it as we floated by in the canal at the Rose Market. I gave them the thumbs up, but for people used to the ultra sweet and syrupy soda pop drinks and juice sweetened with high frutose corn syrup, they'll likely find the taste vile. It's very light and refreshing and if your taste buds aren't conditioned by overly sweet drinks, you'll probably enjoy this.



I gave it 4 stars because the contents say the coconuts are from Brazil and I found the ones I had in Thailand a bit more tasty.

Everyone in my family loves this drink! We use it in smoothies and health drinks. We use it as it is and we use it as a base in other blendered drinks. We think it is fantastic any way we've used it. Its flavor is very subtle and nice - not sweet, not salty, unique to itself and not at all overpowering when used with other flavors. We have only used it in "natural flavor" and really like it a lot. If the health claims for it are at all true, then it is a wonderful product. We like to use it with a little fruit juice, too, with kids so you get the health benefits but not so much of the sugar from fruit juice. It's delicious on its own but with juice or whey powder or yogurt and fruit - whatever you like - added. To those few reviewers who made such negative statements: what in the world were YOU drinking? Not this, that's for sure! It's great stuff....we're glad Zico makes this available. - Zico - Coconut - Delicious - Sports Drink - Health - Beverage

Click here for more information The water of a tender (green) coconut is a natural electrolyte, rich in potassium and other minerals needed. It is thus a natural sports drink. I knew that much before I accepted this book for review and was curious how a book could be written about that!



I was in for a pleasant surprise when I received this beautifully printed book with a colorful cover and found it well edited, printed well with a good collection of photos to drive the points home.



In 10 chapters, a few appendixes and 223 pages, the author succeeds in educating us about all the health benefits of coconut water. Did you know that Coconut water cured the cataract of eyes of a person? Well, I did not know that! Did you know that coconut water is a good way of detoxing without many problems associated with plain water fast and fruit juice fasts?



There are many more uses of tender coconut water and many of the same benefits are obtained from packaged coconut water too. Coconut milk is not to be confused with coconut water.



All in all, this is a highly readable book on the several health benefits of coconut water. I am lucky to be in a country where tender coconuts are sold roadside and also bottled coconut water is available in departmental stores just in case, I need to travel to places where fresh coconuts may not be available.



I am glad to recommend this book for all interested in health of themselves and or their family members, friends etc.

Very informative book... Has a lot of good information that will keep you wanting to read to book till u finish...



youd be surprised to all the benefits coconut water has to offer... Def. a real eye opener!!!!



I def. recommend you getting this book along with some coconut water... Amazon currently has a sale on Vito Coco coconut water until this end of this month!!!

I bought the "Coconut Water" after 3 month ago having receaved and rwad the "The Coconut Oil Miracle", and after that bought "Virgin Coconut Oil", all written by Dr. Bruce Fife.



It all startet about 3 years ago bying especially many healthy books, that is about eating the right things and doing the best exercice. It came when I discovered that there was something wrong with one of the bones, happely before it broke, and hade made an operation. And then after being to cholesterol measures for me and my wife in february last year, 2009, and for her getting a bad result, more books bying. And about the cholesterol it showed up, in the new bought books, that what I had learned i the 1960's when I was a teenager, and allso read in books bought i Denmark in the 90's was wrong.



But first in this year, 2010, after bying and reading nearly 100 books concerning (most) eathing and exercise, I came to the books about cocos. And then allso about this, cocos, found that it was much misinformations we had got in nearly all of the years since the second world war. Because we had been told about sorting fats in only good and bad and thereby cocos came to be bad. And then it has shown up that this was totally wrong, and instead all concerning cocos is the best we can get.



After readng the 3 mentioned book by Bruce Fife, and our knowings now a day, I think that it is a shame that in most of books concerning healthy eating the cocos is not even mentioned, even though it showed up to be the most healthy. But without doubt it wil change in the future, that is that all concerning cocos will get into the books about healthy eating.



All of the books written by Dr. Bruce Fife are written in good ways and have many good informations, bouth scientifically and about cases. And I'm going to by more of his books.



I come from Denmark but now live in Thailand and here we have cocos everywere. But after the cholesterol measure last year my wife by doctors was told not to eath cocos or drik cocos oil. But reading more than 10 books about cholesterol and the books by Bruce Fife I have told my wife that the doctors are wrong so now we nearly each day get something from cocos. I have allso tried to prowe it for the doctors,but they will not chance.



With regards Gert Bo Thorgersen

Firstly, I would like to explain that coconut water is the liquid found in the coconut, as opposed to coconut milk, which is a manufactured product produced by crushing coconut meat and extracting the juice.



Now, with regard to the book, I must admit that I found most of it extremely boring and thus not easily read, due mostly to its scientific content. Though the basic content of the book is absolutely important.



It turns out that coconut water is a superfood that saves lives. It can be used intravenously, its composition being "remarkably similar" to that of human blood plasma, thus making it more effective than standard IV saline solutions for rehydration.



Dehydration is a serious problem, for example, during cholera epidemics. Oral rehydration with coconut water has proved to be extremely effective, though there is much resistance to its use from the medical profession. Coconut water is superior to all other beverages for rehydration. Water is not enough, since the decisive factor is the electrolyte content of the fluid used, and coconut water contains the necessary electolytes, most importantly, it has a high potassium content



Coconut water is effective against Crohn's disease, strokes, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, edema, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, etc, etc.



I myself have Crohn's disease, but since beginning to consume coconut products, including coconut water, coconut milk, etc, I have had no episodes of any kind connected with this disease,



The book includes instructions on how to make coconut water kefir, how to open young coconuts (which, unfortunately, I have never encountered and can't get hold of), how to make coconut milk from fresh and dried coconut, how to do a coconut water fast and also includes a number of excellent coconut water recipes. The latter part of the book proved much more readable than the first.



Since reading this book together with another of Fife's books, on coconut oil, I now drink coconut milk and coconut water, use coconut oil exclusively when cooking, and eat the meat of at least two or three coconuts a week.



I would absolutely recommend this book for those in bad health or looking to retain their good health, since the information given as to the extreme nutritional value of coconut water is of absolute importance in my view. But you may need a certain portion of persistence in getting through the first part of the book, unless you are extremely motivated. - Coconut - Dehydration - Electrolyte - Green - Health Food - Tender

Great Taste - delicious, sports drink

Click here for more information Just ordered this and the plain coconut milk, I really like the Mango Zico

not over sweet but just right and refreshing. As a diabetic have to be careful with my diet and read this is a very healthy for blood sugar control and has the many benefit's of coconut. A little pricey and small serving 11 oz.

but is imported from Brazil so i can understand the cost. Hope Amazon put's this on sell will buy again....!

If you dont like mangos, you will not like this drink. It does not taste like an "organic" mango, but rather, it tastes more like the "essence of mango" you would smell from an air freshener. This does mix pretty well with cold rum.



I would suggest you find this brand locally to try it before you buy it. This water does not taste like the water you would get from the Asian countries. I cant really explain why either.

My necessity after a Karate workout!

Better than a sports drink for electrolytes..much less sugar..

My favorite flavors........MANGO!in PURE COCONUT WATER.

All natural, lightly flavored with pure fruit juice.

Takes me back to Hawaii...mmmm.

This is a great product. Although I'd initially planned to buy a single box to sample the product, I realized after reading previous reviews that coconut water was probably an acquired taste, so I bought a 12-pack just to see if I'd end up liking it. At first, I was disappointed; the first taste seemed rather bland (and it was somewhat warm). The next day, I drank another carton (cold now) and it wasn't too bad. The third day I found myself looking forward to getting home to drink a carton of this stuff! Now, I love it so much I've subscribed to regular deliveries. For me, the mango flavor is the best. I wish it were a little cheaper (thus only 4 stars) but otherwise I like the product just the way it is and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lightly flavored alternative to sodas.

I have been buying Zico's mango flavored coconut water for several months now but last 2 packs I received did not taste the same. It tasted as if it had gone bad/expired/etc. Normally this is a great product but after receiving two bad batches, I won't be buying Zico anymore.

I've been buying ZICO with mango in 11.2 oz. tetra-paks almost since they started offering them here on Amazon. However, just as another reviewer explained, the most recent batch I received was horrible, it went from being the best coconut water to the worst I've ever had. The packaging was slightly different and most alarming, the individual box no longer says anything about being from Brazil. If this continues I will never buy this product again. If you are having the same experience, please speak up on here so maybe we can get this fixed......

So my husband and I have been receiving Zico water with mango for several months, with subscribe and save. This month both cases taste HORRIBLE. Expiration date is in just a few months. In the past they were over a year away. Also the cases were different in color. Tasted no hint of mango, but cannot drink this batch. What is up with that? We love this stuff and have come to depend on it for after exercise.

I've ordered Zico Mango Coconut Water three times from Amazon. The first two times, the dozen I received were fine. This time, there was something wrong with the batch; I'm not sure if Amazon used a different distributor or something else happened. The coconut water tasted very strange, with a strong aftertaste, and there was a milky substance in the water, which I've never seen before (I've been drinking Zico for a while). The individual boxes also looked different -- the colors were off (flesh-tone instead of yellow), and the expiration date and batch info were printed differently. I can't recommend ordering in bulk from Amazon, even though it's so convenient and saves money. This isn't the first time I've experienced a bad batch -- as if the food company had sent a "slightly imperfect" batch to Amazon to get rid of it. I've had this experience with canned beans, food bars, and now Zico. It's such trouble to call and get a label and send it back and get a refund, especially if, as I did, you break down the boxes and store all the drinks away in the cabinet before you realize they're no good! Just a word of caution. - Delicious - Sports Drink - Beverage - Health - Electrolytes - Coconut

Great Taste - delicious, sports drink

Blood Pressure - coconut, sports drink

Click here for more information I love coconut water. Their plain one is pretty good. However, this one is a little sour. If you want tangerine juice this is okay since it pretty much overpowers the coconut water flavor, but if you want a coconut water, just get the plain.

This is what kids like - a good trick to get them to drink coconut water. Of cause the disadvantage is - the alkaline coconut water is overpowered by the acidic tangerine - making it overall an acidic ph - but you still get the minerals from the coconut.

I like the attempt to put tangerine flavoring with coconut water, as I LOVE tangerines, but this just has too much sugar. They could probably filter the sugar out or something. Too bad, as I'd buy this by the truckload if they could make it with about half the sugar!

I love coconut water and have had to take a machete to lop off the top to get to it. I also love tangerines, but never thought of having them together. I must admit that I was a bit nervous about the natural coconut water with natural tangerine purees blend. My apprehension was for nothing. This tasted great!



I was thirsty and needed something to drink. This drink not only tasted great, it actually made me feel refreshed and quenched my thirst. It has a very natural taste as if it has never been in a container. The ingredients include Natural Coconut Water, Tangerine Puree, and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). This drink will quench your thirst and hydrate you. I would definitely drink this again!

I really only like two flavored coconut waters, this one and Zico mango. All the others are a bit sweet for me. This one tastes quite refreshing and not too much flavor. Very nice. I would recommend.

I tried a few of the flavors and this one was the overall winner for the kids and me......plain coconut water was 2nd. This is great tasting and thirst quenching - finishes clean and is very fresh.

I am not too concerned with the acidity of the product - was looking for great taste and a nutritional alternative to Gatorade/Powerade and this is it. Lots of potassium and vitamin C and no added sugar - OK on calories too. - Coconut - Sports Drink - Tangerine - Health - Juice - Tasty

Blood Pressure - coconut, sports drink

Fibromyalgia - vitacoco, acai

Click here for more information I have tried all the flavors of Vita Coca and this one is the BEST !!



This brand is much better than ONE or Zito.



Fyi.. a great way to try all the flavors is with the variety pack.



I like to save an extra 15% and get this shipped once per month. I drink

them after a working out and since I work out about 5 days a week,2

12 packs of drinks works out about right.



With vita cocoa...being healthy takes GREAT !

Very Smooth taste. To me, this acai & pomegranate is very good. The pineapple flavor is still my favorite, with the acai second, and the mango peach is my least favorite of the 3 flavors.



This flavor is light and refreshing, like water with a smooth berry and coconut flavor added. It doesn't taste phony either. It is 100% natural and it tastes natural. Too good to be just flavored water. It tastes more like a light fruit juice. I had mine chilled. It is imported from Brazil. A plastic twist-off cap allows you to stick in a straw easily, without hammering the package to punch it through. A single package is about 6 inches high, with 3 inch diagonal square shape.



One paper coated package contains 17 fluid ounces/500 ml, marked as 2 servings. Per serving stats are 60 calories (so 120 calories total per package), 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 30mg sodium, 515 mg potassium, 15g sugar, 4 % calcium, 4 % phosphorus, 180 % vitamin C, 8 % magnesium, 1 g protein. Ingredients, as listed in order on package are: natural coconut water, mango puree, peach puree, ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The package states it is 100 % natural, has more electrolytes than leading sports drinks with 15 times the potassium, and has more potassium than 2 bananas.



So--- it is good, refreshing, healthy, easily packable, and easily openable. (It's ok. I can make up words. I work for the government.) I really like the high potassium content, too. (Note--I am NOT a doctor.) As the sweltering East Coast heat and humidity approaches, potassium helps with the fluid you lose. Whether you are on fluid pills, or working outside in the eat, or running and jogging for your health, or hiking, or your children are playing and running in the heat, it's a real good idea to keep those potassium levels up. Low potassium levels, as I understand it, can be harmful, leading to cramps in your legs or worse--maybe even making you pass out. Anyway, this is good and it sure tastes a lot better to me than Gatoraid (yuk). So, check it out, and read up on "potassium" before the heat gets here.

This was so gross!! I actually had tried the peach/mango flavor before this one and thought nothing could be as bad as that one, but this one was even worse. I couldn't even taste coconut in it. Just grossness.

I found this to taste stale and perhaps like drinking liquid cardboard. I've had the original, unflavored Vita Coco (like it better than original, unflavored O.N.E. and very tolerable for unflavored) and Tangerine Vita Coco (superb!). This is a HUGE disappointment in comparison. I used to love the Acai coconut water offered by Hudson Bay, but I can no longer find it. That was my favorite drink ever! I'm not sure if it is the pomegranate that makes it taste rather lousy, but I was wholly disappointed. There is a pleasant fruity aftertaste, but it is ever so slight and nearly undetectable. I'll pass on another purchase of this again.

I suffer from Fibromyalgia as well as other Auto-Immune Problems and decided to give this a try to see if the potassium might help with some of my muscle pain. I have tried all of the flavors and the Vita Coco Coconut Water with Acai & Pomegranate is my favorite! (The plain is my second favorite.) It's like a mini-treat to break up my day and I have seen a difference in the amount of pain I have been experiencing as well as it helping me with the "dry mouth" effects that my medication causes.

I am not a medical doctor - but as someone that suffers from chronic pain - I would highly recommend at least giving this a try if you are in the same boat as I am.

It takes a little while to get used to the taste - but once you do - you actually look forward to having it each day. *Hint: I have found that by putting it into the freezer for a little bit it turns into a tasty slushy that is AWESOME!

I love vita coco and this drink is great but with horrible after taste. This flavor has more potassium( 21% vs 19%) than the pineapple flavor so this was the main reason for me trying this. The flavor is great while drinking but the after taste is horrible. Its mostly acai flavor after taste and Im not a big fan of acai. The acai basically over powers the pomergranate and coconut but its still a refeshing flavor. Overall I would not by this flavor again if I had the chance. Hopefully the tangerine one comes back so I can give that one a try. - Vitacoco - Acai - Coconut - Health - Delicious - Fibromyalgia

Frustration-fre - vitacoco, sports drink

Click here for more information I can drink a couple of these a day! I am glad the 17oz comes with a cap. Easier to store them once you open a pack. I've ordered VitaCoco, One and Zico. I find VitaCoco brand to have the best flavor. Best served chilled.

I bought three cases of these on Fri and it was at my door step today (Monday) with my prime account. Had a problem with one of the box. Upon opening the amazon box, I see that one of the case was already opened and few of packs were damaged and leaking. I called Amazon right away and they resolved it right away.

As the title says, great product and great service! thanks amazon.

In response to a previous reviewer who questioned the potassium content of the coconut water, please see the product description: "High in potassium, fat free, cholesterol free, and low in acidity, no sugar, Contains five essential electrolytes--potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and phosphorous" -- which makes coconut water a superior pre- or post-workout drink compared to other popular sugar-laden, artificial color-added ones (you know who you are). I drink my Vita Coco chilled either right from the box to quench my thirst after a long run or I mix it into a delicious, awesomely nutritious smoothie with frozen bananas, papayas, strawberries, mangoes...whatever fruit you have on hand. You can also make a super-nutritious green smoothie by simply adding a tablespoon of Greener Grasses or Vitamineral Green to a cup of the coconut water and giving it a good whirl in the Vita-Mix. Excellent! And with Amazon's free shipping and subscription discounts, the value can't be beat.

I bought a lot of boxes of vita coco from Amazon these past few months due to the sale/special offers lately. 2 boxes (both were the small size) tasted great! (1 carton had a weird taste).



I said whatever and bought the larger size. YUCK! I drank the first two and they tasted sour. I compared them side by side with the other vita coco I had (the smaller cartons) and these taste really different. I opened a few more to try, and some were okay, and others sour.



UGH. I don't care how good some of these boxes are! If they vary this much, it's not worth it to me to try again.



*Edited to add:

I emailed vita coco and told them about this and they told me they had a bad batch. The rep then mailed me a free box of 12 cartons. This batch was good! (They sent me some funky flavors instead of the original though...still nice of them).

I prefer this resealable package over the 11oz..and by the way, the other reviewers are mad!

Perhaps they have never had fresh BRAZILIAN coco water before and are used to asian coco water which is sugary and watered down and completely industralized. I am from north of Brazil and can tell you this is what fresh young brazilian coconut water should taste like.

And how can anyone complain about the packaging? Makes no sense. Who could dislike a resealable, environmental friendly package!?

Overall, I am very satisfied and will continue to order this brand on subscribe and save. 3 boxes a month.

I grew up in southern India where water from tender coconut is sold by street vendors and it is drunk straight from the coconut. It is the most refreshing drink, containing electrolytes for very hot weathers over there. Gatorade and other artificial drinks are very poor substitutes.



After having tried the canned coconut waters available in Asian stores, I had given up on coconut water for a decade until I chanced upon these. They are expensive, but it is amazing that one could bottle "authenticity"! No artificial additives, no sugars, no pulps, nothing!



It is so good that I don't want to try the mixed varieties that they have. Nothing but pure coconut water for me.

I ordered three 12-packs so there were three shipping package for my order. The first two 12 packs came ontime as expected. However, one of the bottom have mole growing out of it so it have to be thrown away.



The third product made it to my city and then return to the supply. Then it was reship to me next day (free of charge from Amazon). However, I only received 8 packs instead of the 12 packs.



The product quality is pretty lousy compared to other coconut juice products I tried. I figure that I give this one a try. It look like somebody went through and open up all the box which made me afraid to drink it sometimes.



The taste really do not taste like real coconut. I expect more from 100% coconut. It was pretty cheap to begin with but I think that I would go with other products.

I love Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water, especially on a hot day. It is the best "sports drink" you can get, because it does "hydrate every cell in your body." It is a pure, unadulterated, unmanipulated healthy drink, that perks you up. The 17oz. size is handy to take along in the car or pack for lunch. Great for leg cramps cuz of the high potasium content. Better than a banana and less calories. Better than water - totally quenches thirst!!! - Vitacoco - Sports Drink - Coconut - Health - Vita Coco - Nutrition

Moisturizer - coconut, coconut oil

Click here for more information I had read that organic coconut oil was good for healing skin yeast infections so I thought I'd try it. This is alot of coconut oil for the price!! It smells clean and like coconut ( of course!) It cleared up my minor infection within days. I use the oil all over now because it goes on smoothly and absorbs into the skin rather quickly. Don't leave it in the sun because the heat will warm it to liquid!

This product has several uses. My sister told me about coconut oil and I researched further. Not all coconut oils are the same. This one is great for me because I have used it to condition my hair as well as my skin. Also you can eat and cook with this product. It has the most delightful light natural coconut fragrance. It desolves quickly into the skin without oily residue. Fast absorbtion. Gentle too!

Since Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has so many practical uses, I had a tough time picking one off the internet, but I'm so pleased with my purchase! It's a balm-like texture, but quickly melts with your normal body heat, smells fantastic, goes on smooth but doesn't leave you feeling oily. I use it for a lot of things, but the main thing I'm loving it for is as a facial moisturizer! It's the best! I can put it on after a shower, before bed, in the morning before putting on makeup, whatever... and no oily residue is left behind!

I haven't used this for cooking (I am ordering another jar for that purpose) but I love this product as a skin and hair moisturizer! The smell is amazing, like fresh coconut, but is light and not overpowering. It makes my skin so soft and helps keep my curls shiny and healthy looking. The oil is solid out of the jar but easily melts when I rub my hands together. It makes a wonderful massage oil too. I am sold on this stuff, I can't imagine going back to regular body lotion.

Tastes great and is a great source of energy to have for intense physical activities. I find myself lasting longer and going harder in my workouts when I have a tablespoon of this before I go to the gym. My only gripe is that it's a solid, not a liquid. So I heat it up on the stove for a minute to liquefy it.

this product came fast and was sealed, a lot of people dont mention if a product comes sealed or not but you need to know with coconut oil because if you live in a hot state it will be in liquid form and you dont want it spilling all over the place ok now on to the product when i first opened it, it smelled so good and it does kinda smell like roasted nuts but the smell is not too strong to turn you off and then i tasted it but it had no taste and i havent cooked with it because im using it for my body. after i shaved it put some on and it made my skin smooth and mosty importantly it wasnt greasy you just dont know how much i hate greasy oils that sit on top of your skin and do nothing oh and i put this on my hiarline and it made it feel soooo soft, i know in my previous reviews i've said that im giving up on oils but i was just using the wrong ones the whole time and now i've found an oil that gonna be sticking around



ps. when it arrived it was in soild form so i just put it in the microwave for 30 seconds and it didnt turn into complete liquid but wasnt soild i think its easier to use this way because when you rub it in your hands it turns to liquid anyway



pss. i hate the fact that this organic coconut oil came in a plastic jar it would have been nice if it came in a glass jar

After a very cold winter my skin was horribly dry...so I went online to see what the best moisturizer was and one site said organic coconut oil. I went to Amazon and found what I needed. I have to say it is just wonderful. It can be used for other things besides skin care. I haven't tried any of those things yet, but I really love how it makes my skin feel. And it smells delicious. When this container is empty I'll be getting another. I love it.

I'm not exaggerating, this is the best smelling and best tasting coconut oil I have ever seen. It smells like an almond joy candy bar and tastes so good I almost want to eat it out of the can. try this for yourself and you won't be disappointed. - Coconut - Coconut Oil - Hair Care - Miracle - Moisturizer

Click here for more information I have been drinking coconut water for one year now. It has really helped me improve my health. I get far less headaches that is for sure. I used to wake up with terrible headaches and after tracing everything it could possibly be and getting rid of those triggers, I still had headaches.

Now, I drink at least 10 oz of coconut water per day and my headaches have been cut by 75%. At night, I will often hydrate before bed. At the gym, I put it in my sports bottle. It is so much healthier than the Alligator Ade and colored vitamin waters. During gym days, I'll drink as much as 22 oz.

It's just pure coconut water with so much potassium. Low potassium can cause muscle cramping and cardiovascular irregularities. A can of this stuff is perhaps one of the quickest ways you can hydrate and help yourself if you are experiencing symptoms of heat stroke or severe dehydration or JUST feeling a bit sluggish. It has been an amazing experience for me.

Google "potassium and health" and you will see all the benefits of just a few guzzles. A banana has about 450 mgs of potassium while 10 oz of coconut water has 650 mgs.

Also, it is soothing on my stomach and doesn't exacerbate car sickness and IMO, is best very cold.



About this brand, "Nature Factor". I purchased it here on Amazon as it was on sale. I like the can (vs. the box) because it chills in the frig better, but I would have to say it's not the best coconut water. It's not bad, it's just not YUMMY. It has a satisfactory taste, almost a non existent taste. Whereas other coconut waters, such as "O.N.E." and "Harvest Bay" brand tastes really good and "Vita-Coco" tastes sour-horrible.



I do not buy the waters with added sugar. That defeats the purpose of the healthy drink and it really doesn't need any added sweetness if it is a good, clean coconut water.



Also, instead of stocking my earthquake emergency stash with water, I have stocked with cases of coconut water. Think about it. If you need to hydrate during an emergency situation where resources are limited, wouldn't the electrolytes and benefits of coconut water be better than just plain old water? Each gulp would be 5 times more beneficial.



If you are curious about coconut water, this is a decent enough brand to give it a try. Since they all taste so different, it's interesting to try all the brands to see which one you prefer. Good health to you all.

I used to get several cases of ZICO on subscription here on amazon. But Zico changed their packaging AND processing (instead of fresh, it's now from concentrate). If it had still tasted the same, I prolly wouldn't care it was from concentrate, really. But when does a "from concentrate" drink EVER taste as good as natural. Have natural tangerine juice, then drink one from concentrate? Yeah, not the same.



So, I've tried O.N.E. and VitaCoco and assorted brands found in supermarkets and Latino stores over the years. But I always went back to Zico. Now that Zico is horrible (tastes and smells funny), I needed a new coconut water for my daily fix. I decided to try this since amazon offered it to me in a Gold Box Deal. Well, it arrived today and I LOVE IT.



It has a nice sweetness and a clean taste and it's got that refreshing quality that chilled coconut water gives. Heck, I even like it at room temperature. It's not the stinky-sour horror Zico now is.



I also like that it's organic. That's a bonus!



I agree with the other reviewer that the can is great for chilling it up real cold.



UPDATE: Apparently, this brand pasteurizes at quite high temps, so there is a legitimate concern that it loses nutrient content. I therefore recommend that, for those who want more than just a great taste, you either email the company and confirm if they have switched to flash pasteurization, or switch to Amy and Brian's (which flash pateurizes and has a BPA free container).



I disagree with the reviewer that says those other brands are tastier. I grew up drinking coconut water (my dad would split them open with a machete for us to sip straight out of the coconut), and this one tops O.N.E., which has been my Zico substitute until now, and VitaCoco (which I do agree is sourish and way down the choice list). But what "tastes good" is subjective and we won't agree on best taste. But I can tell you this tastes really close to real coconut water fresh from a tree in your backyard (though nothing beats the real, fresh thing). I'm assuming changes in flavor are to be expected since coconut water will vary from nut to nut. Even Zico was not consistent formerly, sometimes sweeter, sometimes more water, depending, I assume, on the batch of coconuts. Any drink that's from actual fresh juice will have variations (and I guess Zico went to concentrate in part to standardize the flavor). So, I may just have a crazy good batch here in my hands. :)



I've just signed on for a subscription and three cases are on their way to me, yay! Thanks, Amazon, for this alternative now that I'm exiled from Zico. Heh.



Update: I tried Amy and Brian's CW after this one, and I actually prefer the A&B due to the sweetness. It has that lovely light, clean, fresh taste that Nature Factor has, just sweeter. That may not be the best for everyone (some folks will want it less sweet, not more, due to the difference in carbs). But for me, I love sweetness, so I'm hooked. But you can't go wrong with either NF or A&B. Enjoy either or both--as I will. So great to discover fabulous new beverages that are healthful.



Addendum re Potassium: This possible potassium-compromising may end up being great for those who want, not just organic, but to minimize potassium intake but enjoy coconut water (ie, those on Ace Inhibitors or potassium sparing drugs, those with kidney function issues). I'd check with the company first--definitely-- to make sure of actual postassium content before considering it safe for the K-avoiding crowd. Something to consider, though, what with so many Americans on high blood pressure meds. But until the company confirms or denies or makes clear what it's ACTUAL end-product electrolytes/Potassium content is, K-avoiders should avoid all coconut water unless your docs okay it. - Organic - Electrolytes - Coconut - Health - Magnesium - Potassium

Click here for more information I have been trying all brands of coconut water. I agree that the Vita Coco is perhaps the sweetest tasting coconut water. I bought the Naked Coconut water right when it became available (at a good price; keep an eye out as prices for several brands of coconut water has been fluctuating on Amazon). Anyway, Naked water is not as sweet as Vita Coco, yet not as sour as Zico. Naked water was certainly good enough to order more.



I work outside in the Texas heat quite a bit. During this summer of 2010 (with temperatures above 100 degrees) I will work up a huge sweat, literally soaking my shirt. I found that drinking coconut water, of any brand, does wonders at refreshing me and giving me the energy I need to head back outside. Indeed, one memorable day I went inside to cool off; I was literally so tired that I thought I would not be able to go back out into that heat and finish my chores. However, after chugging down a container of cold coconut water and sitting for about ten minutes, I was amazed at how refreshed I felt. I was able to head back out and work up a new sweat. From that day on I have been a real fan of coconut water.



I doubt the hype about being 'good for diabetes' and other health-related claims (I am diabetic and have found no difference in my blood sugar levels). However, coconut water does wonders at rehydrating the body: much better than Gatorade. Even Zico (which has been much maligned lately) does me great after a hot session in the heat.



So, load up on coconut water. When you are overheated and thirsty, any brand will go down great. Keep an eye on the prices, since they seem to vary.

I have tried about 5 brands of coconut water, Amy and Bryans, ONE, Nature Factor, Zico, and VitaCoco. This one has the most subtle taste of all of them and looking at the nutritional listing on the box, seems to contain the least amount of sugar. For some, it might taste like water since the flavor does not seem to come out compared to the other brands.



Amy and Bryans and Nature Factor coconuts are way too sweet for my taste and I think they get their coconut water from Thailand. Vita Coco tastes a bit tart.



Zico used to be my favorite before they switch from all natural to concentrate and though I have not tried it, based on other people's reviews, it does not come close to any of these particular ones.



So in the end, ONE coconut will be the brand I will continue to buy and if Zico comes back into the market, I might pick them second. For my taste, the ONE brand tastes the best.



I would rate this at 3.5 star but since that is not available, I guess I will put it at 3. It just tastes too close to water.

Preface: Growing up in south India, I used to drink coconut water almost everyday.



I haven't tried ONE or Vita. I have tried Zico (natural flavor), and it was really disappointing. Everytime I took a sip, I kept turning the tetra-pak to look at the ingredients on the back. It did say 100% coconut water and nothing else. But I am not so sure, I have never tasted any coconut water that sweet, it was just awful. Hmmm.. may be not awful, but that's just not how coconut water tastes.



Compared to Zico, Naked is way better. It is definitely the real thing, though it lacks, just a little bit, in flavor. I would give it 4 stars, but seeing Zico rated higher than Naked, I am giving this a 5 star.



If you grew up drinking coconut water, definitely buy Naked over Zico. If you are new to coconut water, mild tasting Naked might be a let down. You might like the more sweeter Zico better.

Normally I'd like to see more options available with something I love like coconut water, but what really peeves me is how the quality keeps going down! The larger companies are now getting their hands into what is "hot" and they're pumping out low quality coconut water. The only thing that kept me from giving a 1 star is that the better alternatives can't seem to stay in stock. Jeeze!!!

I'm from Brazil, and when I'm home I usually drink coconut water straight from the coconut. When I moved to the states I really missed tating real good coconut water, until I tried this product. Trust me people, this is the real stuff. It's not as sweet as the othe rbrands, and real coconut water isn't supposed to be, but sour coconut water means that they took it from coconuts that aren't ripe yet. This is the best coconut water you can get in the states.

I will start by saying that I am NOT an avid drinker of coconut water. This was my first (and probably only) experience with the stuff. I like trying new, healthy items when they come out and coconut water had been on my list for a while. I decided to bite the bullet with this one since I am a fan of the Naked brand. While I'm sure that the beverage is healthy and good for you, and may even qualify to college kids as a hang over drink, I, on the other hand, think that its distinct taste (not coconut-y, but rather 'earthy') and don't enjoy it. I'd probably say that if you have ever had wheat grass drinks, you would like this. If you don't like wheat grass, you probably will no like this. (I'm not crazy about wheat grass, but I mix it into some drinks for the added health benefits). While they are made of different ingredients and don't taste exactly the same, I think that the taste TYPE is very similar. They will probably taste better in a nice, healthy fruit smoothie.



It's also important to point out that the expiration date of the beverages I received was 2.5 months after I ordered it. That may seem like a lot of time, but if it will take you a while to consume the drinks, you may want to keep that in mind. I ended up bringing them into work and left them in the kitchen for anyone who would want them since I knew I wouldn't finish the entire box before it expired. - Beverage - Coconut - Health - Sports Drink - Zico - Delicious
