Vita Coco Pressed X 330ml (5 Pack)
Summary
This beverage is primarily composed of coconut water and coconut milk, which are generally healthy ingredients. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the use of coconut water concentrate and the presence of a stabilizer, which limits its score. The product contains minimal additives and no harmful artificial ingredients, but the processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.

The concentration process may reduce some of the natural nutrients found in fresh coconut water. It is generally considered a neutral ingredient in terms of health impact.
Benefits
Provides hydration and contains electrolytes such as potassium, which can support fluid balance.
Coconut MilkNeutral
Coconut milk is a creamy liquid made from the grated pulp of mature coconuts, providing a source of healthy fats. It is minimally processed and does not contain added sugars or artificial ingredients. While it adds flavor and texture, it is not a significant source of nutrients in small quantities.
Benefits
Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) which may support energy metabolism.
