Raw Organic Coconut Water by Harmless Harvest

During my recent visit to Whole Foods there was a nice lady handing out samples of Harmless Harvest 100% Raw Coconut Water.  I am no stranger to drinking green coconut water right out of the coconut.  I was pleasantly surprised at how this coconut water had that SAME taste.  You may find that many of the different brands of coconut waters are very sweet.  If you have not had fresh green coconut water then you may not realize there is a BIG difference in the taste.  After tasting this coconut water I was sold and grabbed a couple bottles.

This product is from young, fresh, coconuts that are grown on small organic farms in Thailand.  The coconut trees grow over 100 feet high.  A harvester will climb up a ladder and lower the coconuts down with a rope to a canal.  A gatherer will load the clusters of coconuts into a small boat and deliver them to a truck which in turn takes them for processing.

During processing thousands of pounds of pressure is applied to the product.  This process is used to kill harmful bacteria without the need for heat.  This end product is 100% organic coconut water with only 56 calories per bottle.  Coconut water has electrolytes, magnesium, potassium and calcium and is a great way to get rehydrated. 

I highly recommend Harmless Harvest 100% Raw Coconut Water.  I believe it is the best tasting coconut water that you can buy.

Coco Craziness

Have you noticed the coconut water craze? Recently, SOBE has followed the trend with their Lifewater Coconut Water beverage. I purchased the Pacific Coconut flavor with only 80 calories. When I returned, home upon further inspection, I found that the coconut water contained 110mg of sodium and 160mg of potassium. Companies are pushing coconut water as a sports drink alternative. Consumerlab.com conducted a coconut water review of three competitors. Check out the report here: https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/coconut-water-one-vita-coco-zico-review/coconut-water/

If you want to real deal coconut water stop by and see Wilson at the Fort Lauderdale, Florida Swap Shop. He is serving up cold, young, green coconuts daily!
