Coconuts are unique in the world of fruits because they have a large internal cavity filled with water.

Water is a nutritive fluid nourishing the developing seed and is formed naturally during the development of the coconut fruit.

About 95% of coconut water is simply water, making it an excellent hydrating fluid.

Healthy soils packed with minerals lead to high-quality and nutrient-rich coconut water.
