As you may already know, coconut water offers an enormous amount of health benefits. Coconut water is packed with nutrients and electrolytes which can help with weight loss efforts, improve skin health, re-hydrate the body, facilitate digestion, reduce blood pressure and much more. However, not all coconut water is produced equally. At Grace Foods, we offer coconut water that’s not from concentrate – something that’s vital to ensuring you get all the nutrients you can from your coconut water.What is “Not From Concentrate”?You’ve probably seen the term “not from concentrate” before – it’s sometimes found on orange juice and other juice products. But what does “not from concentrate” actually mean? Basically, it means that the coconut water was not produced from a reconstituted concentrate. A concentrated coconut water is a process in which the coconut water is turned into a syrup before it is packaged. Once the syrup has been imported, water is added to it and then it’s packaged.

Many companies that sell coconut water do so from a concentrate. They do this because it makes it easier and cheaper to import the coconut water. However, there’s a real drawback to this process. In order to turn it into a concentrate, coconut water must be heated to extremely high temperatures for an extended period of time. This causes the coconut water to lose a substantial amount of its most beneficial nutrients. This excessive heat will also cause the beneficial enzymes to lose their effectiveness. All in all, the coconut water ends up losing much of what was supposed to make it beneficial to your health in the first place.This is why it’s important to look for coconut water packaging that contain the words “not from concentrate,” such as our Grace 100% Pure Coconut Water. Don’t be fooled by companies that slap “All Natural” and “100 percent coconut water” on their packaging. This is often a tactic that helps take attention away from the fact that their coconut water is made from a concentrate.
