What We Make
Have a question or concern about Vita Coco? We want to hear from you. Just fill out the form below and we'll get back to you in a hurry. Or, if you’d prefer, check out our FAQ to see if your question is covered.
What is coconut water?
Coconut water is the clear, fat-free liquid that’s inside a young coconut when you crack it open. It’s naturally rich in electrolytes, especially potassium. It’s low in calories, cholesterol-free, and tastes great!
Does Vita Coco need to be refrigerated? How long does Vita Coco last?
Tetra Pak 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.
When should I drink Vita Coco?
Our coconut water is good anytime and anywhere! But for starters, we find that most people like coconut water: on the go; before, during, or after exercise; as a mixer; after a night out; in smoothies; and with meals.
How much Vita Coco should I drink?
Your consumption of our coconut water should be based on personal lifestyle, diet activity level, and always with moderation in mind.
Are Vita Coco beverages pasteurized?
Yes. After coconuts are harvested, washed, and cracked open, the liquid inside is flash-pasteurized and then packaged in a Tetra Pak. Flash pasteurization helps preserve the best natural flavor and nutrients, kill potentially harmful bacteria, and make Vita Coco coconut water shelf-stable for up to 12 months.
Is it safe to drink Vita Coco while pregnant?
Yes. Pregnant women can drink our coconut water, because it’s flash pasteurized. If you have an allergy or health condition, check with a physician before consuming Vita Coco just to be safe.
Is Vita Coco coconut water gluten-free?
You bet. All of our products are gluten-free.
Does coconut water have electrolytes?
Vita Coco contains naturally occurring electrolytes like potassium—more hydration, less funny business.
How many calories are in Vita Coco coconut water?
Not much. Our original coconut water contains 45 calories per serving.
Is Vita Coco kosher?
Yup—kosher and K-star certified.
How do you read the best-by date?
Not the way you think—the best-by date, found at the top of every Tetra Pak, is dated 12 months from the production date, and is read as such: day/month/year.
What is Tetra Pak?
Tetra Pak is a BPA-free, eco- and socially-responsible form of packaging made from wood fiber, a sustainable resource. Tetra Pak keeps our coconut water fresh and gives it a shelf life of up to 12 months. For more information, visit www.tetrapak.com.
Does Vita Coco add sugar to its coconut water?
Yes, we add 1% fruit sugar to some of our flavors. Here’s why: our coconuts come from all around the world, and like most natural products, have variations in flavor. To make sure we provide our customers with a great experience every time, and that the taste profile of our products is consistent across the regions that we source, we add 1% fruit sugar. It doesn’t have an impact on the sugar content of the product, it really just standardizes the flavor.

Vita Coco Sparkling is a refreshing blend of sparkling water, coconut water, fruit juice, and natural flavors. It is available in four flavors – Grapefruit, Lemon Ginger, Raspberry Lime, and Pineapple Passionfruit. It contains naturally occurring electrolytes from coconut water and has no added sugar.
When should I drink Vita Coco Sparkling?
Vita Coco Sparkling is a light and refreshing pick-me-up thanks to its naturally-occurring electrolytes and bubbly, fruity taste. It also pairs great with food or in cocktails! For best taste, it should be served chilled or over ice.

How did you decide on the Vita Coco Infused flavors you have?
We know they’re a little different from what you expect from a coconut water company. We wanted Vita Coco Infused to take people ‘there’ while still being completely delicious. The idea was to make a drink that was earthy, yet refreshing. We tried putting potting soil in lemonade but that didn’t work. Hannah in marketing had the brilliant idea of combining citrus with spice — and that’s how we got our flavors. Thanks, Hannah!
Does the hemp have any certifications I should know about?
Our hemp is Non-GMO, Kosher, Halal and Gluten-Free. It’s also manufactured in the USA and organically grown.

Both! Coconut oil solidifies in temperatures below 77 degrees F (23 degrees C).
