Coconut Water Nutrition at a Glance

Here's the full panel for one 8 fl oz serving of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water. If you're the kind of person who likes to scan a label before you sip, this is the part to screenshot. Everything below comes straight from our product label, so what you see here matches what you'd find on the bottle in your fridge.

Values from the Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water label, per 8 fl oz serving.

Does Coconut Water Have Sugar?

Like all fruits, sugar is naturally occurring inside the coconut—and that’s the only kind of sugar you’ll find in ours. One 8 fl oz serving of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water has 14g of naturally occurring  sugar with 0g added. Nothing gets dumped in. In fact, our Original Coconut Water, Sparkling, Pulp, and Original Smoothie all come with no added sugar or sweeteners. Some other brands do add artificial extras though, so be sure to always check the label. 

The sweetness of our Organic Coconut Water traces back to the Nam Hom coconut from the Samut Sakhon region of Thailand. We cracked a lot of coconuts before we chose this perfect flavor. People often say it tastes like sipping a fresh young coconut on a beach somewhere far away. We definitely agree. 

Quick aside for the soda swappers: trading an afternoon cola for a bottle of coconut water shaves off roughly 25g of added sugar from your day. Same refreshment, fewer ingredients you can't pronounce. Cheers to that! 

How Much Potassium Is in Coconut Water?

Potassium is one of the essential electrolytes that makes coconut water useful for hydration. And Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water has 541mg of potassium per 8 fl oz serving, which is 10% of your Daily Value. 

Reach for the 16 fl oz bottle and now you're looking at roughly double: about 1,083mg of potassium per bottle, or 25% of the Daily Value.

Potassium is one of the most-Googled coconut water questions out there, and for good reason. It's why a lot of folks crack open a bottle after hot yoga, a long bike ride, or just a sweaty afternoon at the farmer’s market. PS, if you're the type who never wants to run out, our Subscribe & Save drops a fresh case at your door every few weeks.

Is Coconut Water Low Sodium?

One 8 fl oz serving of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water has 40mg of sodium, or 2% of the Daily Value. That's modest next to most sports drinks, which usually pour out 110 to 200mg per serving depending on the brand.

Coconut water leans potassium-forward and lighter on sodium, which is part of why so many people grab a bottle as an everyday sipper instead of a hardcore workout-recovery drink. If you're a marathon runner in July or one of those folks who sweats salty stains through every t-shirt, you'll likely want extra sodium from another source on top of your coconut water. But for everyday moments, coconut water is a great choice. 

Does Coconut Water Have Vitamin C?

Like many other brands, Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water is free of vitamin C. Coconut water doesn’t naturally carry significant amounts, and we don't add ascorbic acid as a preservative (which btw is the reason some bottles turn a soft pink hue over time. So, if vitamin C is what you're after, reach for an orange or a kiwi instead.

Coconut Water vs. Other Drinks

So how does coconut water hold its own against the other usual suspects in the beverage aisle? Here's a quick side-by-side, with no shade thrown at anyone (we promise, we love a cold soda on a road trip too).

Pick the drink that matches the moment. Pro tip from the team: if you've been sweating buckets at a hot yoga class or a summer hike, pair your coconut water with a salty snack (think pretzels, a handful of olives, or even a pickle if that's your vibe). The combo hits a little differently than either alone.

Why Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water?

Plenty of coconut water brands line the cooler. Here's what makes ours worth the pickup:

• One ingredient. Organic coconut water. That's it. Flip the bottle around and read for yourself.

• Young Nam Hom coconuts from Thailand. We source from the Samut Sakhon region, where the Nam Hom (literally, "fragrant ones") grow with a sweetness you can taste in every sip.

• Certified organic under USDA's National Organic Program. No persistent pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, no sewage sludge, no GMOs, & never irradiated. Our farmers do the work the right way.

• Fair for Life certified. Money & resources flow back into the communities where we farm & bottle. We're talking school uniforms, water filtration systems, and mobile medical trucks for check-ups and screenings. Real things, real people.

• Multi-step micro-filtration instead of thermal pasteurization. The taste stays closer to drinking from a fresh-cracked coconut on the beach.

• Naturally pink. Some bottles turn a soft pink hue because of antioxidants over time. No added color, no ascorbic acid, no funny business.

• No added sugar, no sweeteners, no unnatural flavors in our Original Coconut Water. Same goes for our Sparkling, Pulp, and Original Smoothie.
