What it is

Pure coconut water is the clear liquid found inside young, green coconuts. It is naturally occurring and is harvested by tapping the coconut before it ripens. It is typically filtered and pasteurized for commercial sale.

Why it's used

Coconut water is often used as a beverage base or a standalone drink due to its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and hydrating properties. It can also be found in smoothies, juices, and sports drinks as a natural source of electrolytes.

Health notes

Pure coconut water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of electrolytes like potassium, which plays a role in maintaining fluid balance. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated coconut water. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts.

Allergen info

Coconut is botanically classified as a fruit, not a tree nut, and is not one of the nine major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
