Not so long ago, you had to use a machete if you wanted a sip of pure coconut water. We’ve taken
the machete out of the equation, which is good, because those things are dangerous. Now all that’s left is
Mother Nature’s most hydrating, refreshing, vitamin- and mineral-rich nectar. Vita Coco is never made from
concentrate. That means we pick, crack, and pack fresh young coconuts directly at the source. After
the coconuts are cleaned, the delicate water inside is flash pasteurized (and occasionally mixed with
all-natural fruit puree) then poured into a shelf-stable Tetra Pak. The entire process from tree to Pak
doesn't exceed 72 hours. We hear the end result is a lot like sticking a straw in a coconut.Allows our
coconut water to be shelf stable for up to 12 months outside of the fridge. For best taste, after you
open a Vita Coco, place it in a refrigerator and consume within 24-48 hours—nobody likes sour coconuts
