Throughout history, coconut water has long been relied upon by humans as a plentiful fresh liquid source in tropical countries like India, Africa, Indonesia, the Pacific Islands & Caribbean etc. and contains ‘lauric acid’ – an important component of nourishing mother’s milk.
Don’t try this at home kids, but isn’t it amazing that coconut water (from unopened, undamaged coconuts) is sterile and contains a similar electrolyte balance as our blood?? In the absence of medical saline in developing countries (or during war-time shortages), coconut water has even been used as an intravenous hydration fluid!

FAQ's

1. What exactly are the ingredients?
Evaporated Organic Coconut Water, tapioca-based maltodextrin

2. How do you describe the texture/taste/aroma??
A very fine-grain white powder with no aroma and almost without taste – but faintly sweet, & very refreshing.

3. What are ‘electrolytes’ and why are they important?
Electrolytes replenish the body’s water in humans, keeping the concentrations of crucial minerals within and around our body’s cells and blood in balance. For example, muscle contraction (or to prevent cramping) is dependent upon the presence of calcium, sodium and potassium - when we exercise or sweat, we can lose these nutrients and become dehydrated and/or weak.

4. Where do you normally find dietary electrolytes?
Some fruits and their juices, milk, coconuts and oddly, some vegetables including potatoes and avocados.

5. What is tapioca maltodextrin and why is it present?
Quite simply, in molecular gastronomy, plant-derived maltodextrin is a dextrose polysaccharide required for creating/dissolving powders from oil-containing foods (in this case, coconut ‘meat’ with healthy fats). Tapioca is derived from dried cassava root plants - a gluten-free staple food native to South America. How simple is that??

6. How can I be confident there is no genetically modified component to this product?
Because our supplier has taken the time, trouble and expense to become a Certified NON-GMO company.
