Mata | 2 | 2 | 4 | 1319155200 | Not As Good As the Canned Stuff But...... | It does not taste like the canned coconut water to me (which I love) but it is much cheaper. I do a lot a yoga and frequently had foot cramps. I took supplements but coconut water was the solution to my problem. The problem with coconut water is that it is expensive. This powder is a cheaper alternative and seems to have the same effect. I add a little coconut flavoring and a few drops of liquid stevia and it really pumps up the flavor. |

Price not too bad, easy to make and pretty convenient but yuk yuk my poor unsuspecting mouth. tasted like salt and not coconut at all. I tried 1 tbsp per package recommendation then moved on to multiple tbsp to see if that made a difference, sadly it did not. the following is a much better dessicated coconut drink:Ajmera Coco Energy Instant Coconut Water, 10-Count Boxes (Pack of 3) |

That may be a plus for some people, but the form of magnesium of many ionic minerals disturbs the g.i. system of others (keeps things moving fast). Amazon does not list this change on its website but needs to. I'd like to get some more pineapple flavor, but I don't know whether or not that flavor has been changed too. |

Recently, I have had a hankering for coconut water, but I have found buying the tetra packs, can, or bottles to be expensive. This is about half the price, but you have to provide your own water.
I would take this traveling with me, or back country. When my sister saw it on my counter she mentioned that it was exactly the product that her friend, a professional competitive bicyclist, uses while racing. (200-400 miles on a bike in a day is a lot without the proper snacks.)
I highly recommend this product. |

I mix up a container and keep it in the fridge to add to the container I keep out for water all day. I like the plain the best. It has a refreshing faint taste of coconut. I enjoy this much more than the canned or bottled coconut water. The price difference makes it even better. I will continue to order this product through Amazon. |

No matter how much or how little water I disolved it in, I could not get a flavor that resembled coconut water in ANY form (canned, tetra pak, fresh) and I have tried them all.
Maybe the people who gave this good reviews just like the taste and the fact that its a natural, low calorie rehydration beverage. But I grew up on an island in southeast asia drinking coconut water right from the coconuts themselves and now I drink it from tetra paks, and trust me this does not taste like either of those. |

This is an instant powder so I didn't expect this to have the 'weighty' flavor of fresh coconut water; however, I really appreciate the light and refreshing flavor, especially when i am consuming lots of water during heavier workouts. I have found the dilution of a Tbsp / 8 oz ( 3 Tbsp in my 24 oz water bottle) to be nice and light when I am active; however, for keeping in the refrigerator for general drinking, I like more taste, so add more powder. The amount of powder really makes a difference in the taste. I have tried a couple of other instant coconut waters, and their first ingredient is sugar -- not at all appealing to me So I am pleased to find a drink powder that has its first ingredient 'evaporated coconut water'. |

It tastes like somebody soaked stale dried coconut flakes in water and then dehydrated the cloudy water they got from it into a powder. I doubt that it has the same minerals that are in coconut water. |

I really don't understand the 5-star reviews. I wonder if these people know what a coconut tastes like.
An earlier review mentioned the after-taste. It is closest to stale processed white cheddar cheese.
Seriously, if you weren't told that this was coconut water, you'd never guess. It's that bad.
If you're near a Costco, go get the canned Foco coconut juice. (12x17.6 oz cans for under ten bucks). At least that one has a semblance of coconut in it. (and is cheaper by the ounce. 160 calories for the 0.52 Liter can - which is not too bad for an 80% juice but it does have added sugar and water)
I was going to give it a 2nd star for the low calorie count (so one could add fake sugar to make it sweet), but after looking at the nutritional facts, I don't know what the calorie count really is.... Why? Nutritional facts state 5 calories per serving. No mention of the number of servings in the container. Serving size is 22g, but package weighs 275 g. So that is 12.5 servings (not 25 servings as advertised). So is this 5 calories per ounce of mixed drink or 22g of powder.
Bottom line, skip it. Hopefully the pineapple flavored one that should arrive over the next few days will mask the cheese aftertaste.
UPDATE: The pineapple flavor does mask the cheesy aftertaste. I'm going to have to mix the original and the pineapple as there's no way I'm going to be able to drink the original one alone... |

I like other things from this company and I LOVE coconut water - especially straight outta the nut! No sweeteners needed. (I also like coconut manna, and coconut smell, and coconut milk, shredded coconut, etc). This tastes nothing like coconut water. I think the stuff they add to it is what ruins it. It tastes salty and fake. I wish they could/would just dehydrate the coconut and powder it and package that. Maybe it would be different.
I love coconut water, but don't feel comfortable with the environmental cost of shipping, etc. i was happy to find it in powdered form, and happy that there were so few ingredients. I REALLY wanted to like this. I'm so bummed. I can't even give it away.
I see it is out of stock - maybe they are reformulating it?? Big Tree Farms, if you read this, PLEASE improve the taste of your formulation and let us know when you have. I'll GLADLY update my review for an improved product!
I rely on reviews to help me make informed buying decisions. I hope this review helped you too! |

Problem is, it's a bit of a fad right now. You can't find them sold everywhere and they are often on the expensive side. That, and many of them come from far-away places and if you're bothered by the thought of all the added cost of shipping palettes of packaged water, this product is the answer!
From what I can tell, this product is nothing but coconut water, in powdered form. Sure, it might not taste as fresh as water from a fresh coconut, but I can carry this anywhere, I can travel with it, and I can mix some up any time I want. The convenience alone is great, but knowing the manufacturer doesn't have to pay all the overhead for shipping it in water form is wonderful.
This dissolves pretty easily, but pouring it into regular temperature (tap) water instead will make it dissolve faster than if you pour this into a glass with ice cubes (in case you want to add this into a glass of ice water at a restaurant).
Highly recommended! |

It helps me avoid leg and foot cramps during class and it tastes good. I have several coconut trees in the yard, but this is much easier to use, and is always ripe! The taste is similar to the coconuts in the trees. I really don't need the extra salt and sugar, but it's okay in the heat. |

I remember finding their website and inquiring about the nutritional information for this product before it was even sold on the market. The company has been very considerate and prompt to answer all my emails and questions! I suffer chronic hypokalemia (low potassium) in conjunction with a lifelong history of eating disorders and health problems in relation to them. I need all the added nutrients I can get, including weekly nutrient IV therapy due to radical defeciences and digestion/absorption problems. I have been using Cocohydro as a supplement everyday and love it. It's a great way to boost electrolytes. I add it to my food and beverages, even fresh coconut water that I drink daily... every little bit helps. I was expecting more of a coconut taste and was surprised to find it rather bland but my primary purpose of usage is supplementation so it doesn't bother me that it's plain. The amount of potassium in 1 single serving literally almost compares to the amount of potassium in a serving of fresh coconut water. I can double the fun and add both together for a super boost! I have no interest in the flavored varities but I'm sure they offer more taste than the original - for those who feel they need added flavor. I order through subscribe and save and get a discount on my purchases! I get 2 bags sent to me every month so I don't have to worry about running out or ordering again. PS. Great for car or travel, carry an extra in your car or bring one with you - you never know when you will need an extra boost! |

Amin | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1324252800 | Good concept... but at the cost of taste :( | Have been buying all the tetra-packs (zico, real, vita, ...) for a very long time so was excited to see this dehydrated coconut water. I liked the concept of not shipping all that water around if you can extract the "good stuff"... reduced cost and environmentally better... but unfortunately it did not turn out (for me) to be the best thing since sliced bread :( No matter how much or how little powder I add to the glass of cold/warm water, it just DOES NOT taste like real coconut water.. or even like the tetrapacks. I really wanted to like it but taste is obviously diluted for amounts of powder they recommend as a serving... and when you slowly increase the amount you add, the "dextrose" part of the powder kicks in... and adds that weird sweetness. In short, for me the taste was not acceptable... even for the saved cost and environmentally friendliness.... back to the tetra-packs.... except when I can get close to some *real* coconuts, that is! |
