Common questions

Is Coconut water healthy?

Coconut water scores 61/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Coconut water?

Coconut water lists 6 ingredients, starting with Coconut Liquid Endosperm, Coconut Fruit Juice, Glycerin, Lactic Acid and Sodium Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Coconut water contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Coconut water’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Coconut water?

Coconut water is NOVA group 3: processed, but not ultra-processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
