Shoppers looking for the freshest coconut water now have the convenience of drinking directly from a tapped young coconut without any mess. The resealable and reusable cap keeps coconut water fresh for more than three weeks in the refrigerator and reduces waste. The coconut, as a container, uses less packaging and manufacturing materials than traditional boxing, bottling and canning processes, making it a more sustainable consumer choice for the planet.
Coco Vinny Turns A Coconut into a Container
In 2014, Coco Taps Founder and Chief Coconut-in-Charge Vince Zaldivar, also known as "Coco Vinny," designed the coconut beverage system. After he broke an expensive knife and almost cut off his finger while trying to open a coconut, the Coco Taps Tool Kit was born. Coco Taps uses its patented tools to prepare the coconuts for sale.

One eight-ounce serving of coconut water contains 45.6 calories, 6.3 grams of sugar, 2.6 grams of fiber and 600 milligrams of potassium, according to the USDA.
