ORGANIC COCONUT WATER, powder, freeze dried

Botanical name: Cocos nucifera
Certified Organic
Origin: Philippines
Ingredients: organic coconut water powder, 18% organic tapioca maltodextrin as a carrier to prevent clumping
Production: When coconuts reach optimum ripeness at 9 to 10 months of age, they are hand harvested and immediately processed. Our freeze-dried coconut water produces a highly soluble powdered format for exceptional ease of use and convenience. The powder also reduces the amount of wasteful tetra packaging and cans widely used for the sale of coconut water.
This coconut water is from coconuts that are grown using sustainable farming practices including intercropping with compatible native species and fertilization producing healthy trees that are still producing at 60 to 80 years of age. Warmed by the sun and watered by almost daily tropical downpours, coconuts grow year round in the Philippines.
Qualities: Coconut Water is a naturally occurring liquid found inside the coconut and has been a favorite beverage of Asian and Pacific cultures for thousands of years. The Hawaiians called it "noelani"which means "dew from the heavens".
Coconut Water beverages are extremely popular and especially valued as an all-natural, hydration drink. It is recognized for it's a natural abundance of vitamins (especially the B vitamins), minerals, and trace elements including zinc, selenium, iodine, sulfur, and manganese. It also contains enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Coconut water powder can be rehydrated to form a natural electrolyte rich beverage with no sweetener or other additives needed. Also can be added directly to smoothies, juices, or water.
