What You Should Know

You'd grab ZICO Coconut Water from the refrigerated drinks or natural-beverage aisle as a grab-and-go hydrating option for workouts, a tropical brunch mixer, or a refreshing snack. It gives a wholesome, refreshing, slightly tropical vibe — positioned as a natural alternative to sugary sports drinks. The ingredient list is just coconut water, but industrial pasteurization and aseptic bottling strip any fresh coconut texture and extend shelf life, indicating a processed single-ingredient beverage rather than fresh coconut meat or juice straight from the fruit.
