Certified organic fresh coconuts

🥥 Coconut water from immature coconuts is the clear liquid found inside the coconut.
There is far more coconut water in a fresh coconut than in a mature coconut, which in turn contains more flesh.

It is best to drink fresh coconut water just after opening the nut: once exposed to the air, it quickly loses its freshness. The indicative nutritional values of the water and flesh are given in the "Practical info" tab.

Find more details on using our fresh coconuts in this video:

Fresh organic coconuts transported by ship from Thailand. Harvested and processed by people under fair pay conditions for the farmers: this has always been an essential point for Biovie.
The company, above all human in scale, was audited to receive the Fair Trade label: see the audit (in English) HERE

🥥 To find out more, watch our reports filmed on site:

The soaking of the coconuts described in our YouTube video is done in an organic food-grade solution that we developed ourselves in close collaboration with the university in Bangkok and our supplier. This bath is in no way required by European regulations; it is simply that without it, the coconuts would deteriorate during transport!

🥥 In March 2024, we visited our supplier in Ratchaburi; here is a video of that meeting with Liu and his team:

DPD can deliver up to 2 boxes. To optimise shipping costs, it is often better to place separate orders, 2 boxes at a time.

- Delivery to a Mondial Relay pick-up point is possible BUT PLEASE NOTE the parcel must be collected as soon as possible; we cannot be held responsible for any damage to the coconuts if the parcel is not collected on the day it arrives at the pick-up point.

🥥 Frequently asked questions

How do you open a fresh coconut?

To drink the water, push a straw straight into one of the "eyes" of the shell (see the HOW TO USE tab). Once you have drunk the water, use a machete to cut the white part around the top: strike firmly while turning the nut to trace a circular opening, then loosen the tender flesh with a spoon.

How long do fresh organic coconuts keep?

They keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks after receipt, as long as they are not opened.

Why does the husk sometimes have brown patches?

It is a normal oxidation of the husk, comparable to a banana skin that darkens over time. It affects neither the water nor the flesh, which are protected inside the sealed nut. If in doubt, open and taste: it is the best way to check.

Which coconut variety does Biovie offer, and where does it come from?

It is the Thai Nam Hom variety, renowned for its sweet, aromatic water, grown exclusively in Thailand. Biovie has worked directly with its producer partner Liu since 2017, within an audited organic and fair trade supply chain (see the SOURCING tab).

Can you consume both the water and the flesh of the young coconut?

Yes. The water, present in large quantities in young green nuts, is drunk straight through a straw. The flesh, thin and tender at this stage, is eaten with a spoon and can also be used in smoothies, fruit salads or desserts (see the COMPOSITION tab).

What happens if the coconuts are out of stock when I order?

Fresh coconuts are available on pre-order only, with a monthly delivery that is generally reserved in advance. The whole order is shipped only once the coconuts have been received; to avoid waiting, you can order the coconuts separately from the other products.

Where and how are fresh coconuts delivered?

Only to mainland France and bordering countries, mainly by DPD (24 to 48 hours depending on the area) or by Chronopost for Corsica. Full details of carriers and delivery times are given higher up in this tab.
