Coconut water with pulp contains soft strips of young coconut flesh, which add texture and a little fibre to a naturally light, potassium-rich drink. ACM makes it in at least 8 formats, from 250 ml cans to a 1 L PET bottle, including NFC (not-from-concentrate) versions. Cans suit single-serve retail; 500 ml and 1 L PET suit households and food service.

What does the pulp add?

  • Texture: soft, chewy strips like fresh young coconut.
  • Authenticity: it looks and eats like coconut straight from the shell.
  • A little fibre and fat: young coconut meat is soft and low in fat compared with mature coconut.

The base remains coconut water: about 19 kcal and 250 mg potassium per 100 ml in its plain form. Claims such as “functional” or “digestive health” should be avoided unless authorised in your market.

Can vs PET: which is better?

  • Cans: block light and oxygen completely, chill quickly, fully recyclable; typically longer shelf life.
  • PET: resealable, shows the pulp through the bottle, lighter for large sizes.
