Trader Joe's Coconut Water, 1L

TJ's Coconut Water is extracted from coconuts that are grown on a massive coconut plantation in Brazil. TJ's supplier is situated in a region of Latin America where the climate is ideal for growing coconuts— and this means they get to harvest them year-round. Within a few days of being plucked, the coconuts are drained of their “water,” which is then pasteurized and packaged with less than 1% fructose and ascorbic acid. Fructose is a natural fruit sugar already in coconut. Adding a little more helps balance the brix count (and therefore the flavour), which can vary seasonally. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps to maintain the water’s original colour. So... when you pluck this shelf-stable box from our grocery shelves and crack it open, you’ll discover 99% juice, with a refreshing and authentic taste!

Chill it and shake it well before enjoying a glass, straight up. You might also try blending it into homemade soups, or fruit smoothies when you want to add real, coconut flavour.
