What it is
Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts. It is naturally produced by the coconut palm tree. It is typically filtered and pasteurized for commercial use.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add coconut water for its natural sweetness and electrolytes. It is often used in beverages like sports drinks, plant-based milks, and as a base for smoothies. It can also be found in canned fruits and desserts.
Health notes
Coconut water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of electrolytes like potassium, which can help with hydration. JECFA has evaluated coconut water and determined it is safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming coconut water in typical amounts.
Allergen info
Coconut is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
