Certified organic fresh coconuts

🥥 TheCoconut water The liquid from immature coconuts is a clear, sterile fluid found inside the coconuts, and it is rich in minerals, vitamins, and various micronutrients.
There is much more coconut water in a fresh coconut than in a mature coconut, which contains more flesh.

It is very important to consume fresh coconut water immediately after it has been exposed to air. Indeed, this water is a unique and sterile mixture, meaning it is free from any microbial infection, and exposure to air or, worse, sterilization greatly destroys many of the micro-nutritional active principles of the coconut. Among these micronutrients are lauric acid (which is only found in coconut and breast milk), iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium.

In fact, the potassium content in the water of a fresh coconut is twice as high as what is found in a banana, which is already extremely rich in it. Moreover, these are micronutrients that are directly bioavailable and assimilable.

The soaking of coconuts described in our YouTube video is done in an organic food solution that we developed ourselves in close collaboration with the university in Bangkok and our supplier. This bath is not mandated by European regulations; it's just that without this bath, the coconuts would deteriorate during transport !

🥥 In March 2024, we visited our supplier in Rachtaburi, find a video of this meeting with Liu and his team:

🥥 Frequently Asked Questions

How to open a fresh coconut ?

To drink the water, insert a straw directly into one of the "eyes" of the shell (see the USE tab). Once the water is consumed, use a machete to cut the white part around the top: strike firmly while turning the coconut to create a circular opening, then scoop out the tender flesh with a spoon.

How long do fresh organic coconuts last ?

They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks after receipt, as long as they are not opened.

Why does the shell sometimes have brown spots ?

It is a normal oxidation phenomenon of the shell, comparable to the skin of a banana that darkens over time. It does not affect the water or the flesh, which are protected inside the watertight nut. If in doubt, open and taste: it's the best way to check.

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

This is the Nam Hom Thai variety, renowned for its sweet and aromatic water, exclusively cultivated in Thailand. Biovie has been working directly with its producer partner Liu since 2017, as part of an audited organic and fair trade supply chain (see SUPPLY CHAIN tab).

Is it possible to consume both the water and the flesh of a young coconut ?

Yes. The water, present in large quantities in young green coconuts, is drunk directly with a straw. The flesh, fine and tender at this stage, is eaten with a spoon and can also be used in smoothies, fruit salads, or desserts (see BENEFITS tab).

What happens if coconuts are out of stock at the time of my order ?

Fresh coconuts are available only by pre-order, with a monthly shipment generally reserved in advance. The entire order is shipped only once the coconuts are received; to avoid waiting, it is possible to order the coconuts separately from other products.

Where and how are fresh coconuts delivered ?

Only in mainland France and neighboring countries, mainly by DPD (24 to 48 hours depending on the areas) or by Chronopost for Corsica. The full details of the carriers and delivery times are listed earlier in this tab.
