Vita Coco Coconut Water 330 ml — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Vita Coco Coconut Water 330 ml by Vita coco OKAY — score 60/90.
Almost entirely coconut water with naturally occurring potassium, but they've spiked it with a little added fructose, so it's not the totally pure drink the branding implies.
Why this verdict
- 99% real coconut water with naturally occurring electrolytes like potassium
- No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
- But fructose is added, so it's not the 'pure' drink the label suggests
- Added vitamin C means it's fortified, not naturally complete
- Still mostly water and sugar calorie-wise, not a nutrient powerhouse
Ingredients (3)
- Coconut water (99%) (safe) — Naturally hydrating, carries potassium and other electrolytes; mostly water with naturally occurring sugars.
- Fructose (added, <1%) (moderate) — Added sugar on top of the sugar already in coconut water; small amount but undercuts the 'pure' claim.
- Vitamin C (added) (safe) — Harmless fortification, but it means the drink is supplemented rather than naturally complete.
