Popular questions about Coconut Water

In this blog we answer the most popular questions about coconut water. If we haven’t answered yours, send us an email to answers@grace-kennedy.ca and we’ll be happy to respond.
How long does Grace Coconut Water last once opened?
For the best-tasting coconut water, we recommend drinking your chilled Grace Coconut Water right away once opened, or within 2 days if refrigerated. Please refrigerate after opening.

 

What does “not from concentrate” on Grace packaging mean?
It means that we only use fresh coconut water for the best tasting product. If you see “from concentrate” on the ingredient listing of a coconut water package that means that the coconut water has been heated, condensed down to a syrup, transported and then re-bulked with more water. Coconut water from concentrate has far fewer nutrients and beneficial enzymes than Grace Coconut Water which comes directly from the coconut.

 

Is Grace Coconut Water pasteurized?
All coconut water must go through this process in order to stay fresh while it travels from the tropics to you. Unpasteurized coconut water would not stay fresh long enough to make the trip. Grace Coconut Water is flash-pasteurized for safety while maintaining its great taste and nutrients. Flash pasteurization is a liquid preservation process in which the coconut water is heated rapidly to 70C and then cooled rapidly.

 

Why does Grace 100% Pure Coconut Water have sugar in its nutrition information?
The sugar on the Grace 100% Pure Coconut Water nutrition facts label is the naturally occurring sugar that all coconuts contain. We do not add any sugar. The coconut is cut open, the water is flash pasteurized and packaged for your consumption. It’s that simple! Nothing added, no preservatives and nothing taken away for the best tasting coconut water.

 

Is Grace Coconut Water sourced from non-GMO coconuts?
Yes! We use non-GMO coconuts because we’re all about giving you the best, most natural coconut water possible straight from the tropics.

 

Is Grace Coconut Water gluten free? Kosher? Dairy free?
Yes, yes and yes!

 

Is coconut a nut?
Coconuts actually aren’t nuts; they’re drupes. So, ironically, coconuts are nut-free!

 

Why does Grace Coconut Water use Tetra Pak containers?
Packaging our coconut water in Tetra Paks ensures the freshest tasting coconut water for a longer time without any preservatives. It is BPA-free and good for the planet as it is made from recyclable paperboard which comes from wood, a renewable resource.

 

What’s the difference between coconut water and coconut milk?
Coconut water and coconut milk are from different parts of the coconut. Coconut water comes from inside young coconuts and is a clear, electrolyte-rich liquid containing zero fat and zero cholesterol.  Coconut milk is a sweet, non-dairy milky-white cooking base extracted by breaking down the white kernel of mature coconuts until the milk runs out. It contains nutrient-rich oils and fat.  Coconut milk is not considered a beverage but is often used as an ingredient in cooking and baking. Grace also makes delicious organic coconut milk: try it!

7 Benefits of Coconut Water

Coconut water’s popularity has skyrocketed in the past couple of years. Health benefits of this delicious beverage are countless. Coconut water is now being consumed by health conscious people all over the world. Below are the top 7 benefits of coconut water.

  1. Increases hydration

Staying hydrated is one of our most important daily tasks. Whether you’re an athlete or just a regular person going about life, drinking enough fluids is an essential part of maintaining a healthy body. If you struggle with attaining the recommended daily water intake, coconut water might be the perfect solution because, not only is it good for you, but it is delicious!

  1. Replenishes electrolytes + body detox = a great hangover cure

The human body has the natural ability to cleanse and detox but only if provided with the appropriate nutrients called electrolytes – potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and magnesium.  Coconut water is a great post workout treat because it replenishes electrolytes that we lose during our daily activities. This is just what your body needs after a late night or a strenuous workout. The electrolytes found in coconut water are similar to the electrolyte profile in human blood allowing coconut water to quickly refuel the body and help in the removal of toxins from the body (i.e. limits and cures hangovers).

  1. Lowers muscle tension and stress

Calcium gives us strong teeth, bones and helps keep our muscles relaxed. Magnesium is the mineral that helps us relax and aids in the production of serotonin, a hormone needed to make us feel good. Coconut water is rich in these minerals for a happy, relaxed you.GraceBlog-IMG3 (00000002)

  1. Good for digestive health

Digestive health is synonymous with fibre.  Fibre ensures a functioning digestive system but many of us do not consume enough of it.  Coconut water is rich in fibre and contains about 9% of your daily fibre intake per serving. The amazing thing about coconut water is that it’s safe for everyone (including children, pregnant, and breastfeeding mothers).

  1. Healthy & deliciousGraceBlog-IMG2 (00000002)

Coconut water is a great alternative to drinks that contain added sugar. With its low sugar properties and a natural, delicious taste, it’s a refreshment for anytime and anyplace. It is so versatile it can be combined with fruits, veggies, other juices for smoothies and mocktails or spirits like rum or gin for endless variations. What an easy swap for sodas and coolers during the summer months! You can even make rice with coconut water for some extra flavour.

  1. Youthful and healthy skin

One of the age-old secrets for glowing and youthful skin has always been water. The skin contains plenty of water and acts as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. Dehydration makes the skin look drier and wrinkled but no need to fear! Coconut water helps you stay hydrated and contains antioxidants that have an age defying effect on skin. Struggling with blemishes? Some people claim to have reduced blemishes thanks to washing their faces with coconut water.

  1. Keeps your hair healthy

Coconut water’s antibacterial and anti-fungal properties protect the scalp against things such as dandruff and itch which are known to hinder hair growth. Massaging your scalp with fresh coconut water provides the hair with extra protection while also promoting hair growth.
