Coconut Water Benefits

So what is it about this drink that makes it so popular? Aside from its deliciously refreshing taste, coconut water has a number of benefits:

More Potassium than 2 Bananas

Coconut water has a high potassium content and contains as much as 2 bananas (just don't tell the monkeys!).

Fat, Sugar and Cholesterol Free

Unlike some sports drinks, coconut water is completely fat, sugar and cholesterol free. This makes it ideal for those who are trying to watch their weight.

How does Coconut Water stay fresh?

As soon as the green coconuts are harvested they are flash pasteurised for 2 seconds. The drink is then packaged in an aseptic Tetra Pak, which gives it a shelf life of 12 months without the need for any additives or preservatives.
