Why is Harmless Harvest Harmless® Coconut Water pink?
Our Coconut Water is totally clear when we bottle it and only afterwards do some bottles turn pink due to varying levels of antioxidants and interaction with elements, such as light. We do not use thermal pasteurization to process our coconut water or acidify our coconut water (by addition of ingredients like ascorbic acid), so it has a tendency to turn a pink hue. It’s natural, so we embrace it. Learn more here.
-
How long is my bottle of Harmless Harvest® Coconut Water good to drink after I open it?
As long as it is kept in refrigerated conditions, the water is good for 5 days after opening.

Do Harmless Harvest® products need to be refrigerated?
Dairy-Free Cup Yogurt Alternative and Dairy-Free Yogurt Drink are perishable and need to be refrigerated. While shipped to consumers at room temperature, our coconut water and coconut water-based beverages should be stored refrigerated to maintain product quality up to the Best By date printed on the bottle.
-
How long before my order reaches its best buy date?
Harmless Harvest’s policy is that the Best-By Date printed on each bottle is at least 35 days from the day the order is placed. Meaning, you’ll have at least a month to enjoy your coconut sips! However, in most cases, the amount of time between order placement and the Best-By Date will give you even more time to enjoy. To help reduce waste, do keep this in mind when ordering in large quantities.
-
Can I drink Harmless Harvest® if I’m pregnant?
We take every precaution in making our products safe, as well as delicious. The microfiltration system we have adopted removes all bacteria and produces a commercially sterile product; all listeria and pathogenic bacteria is removed.

How are my items shipped?
As we increase our efforts as a company to reduce waste and limit our carbon footprint, we ship our products out frozen to avoid using excess packaging and ice packs. Sometimes as a result, and especially when it’s colder outside, you’ll receive the product still in a frozen state. Harmless Harvest Coconut Water can be safely thawed in your refrigerator, and it’s the same lightly sweet and refreshing Coconut Water you’re accustomed to when purchasing from your local market. And since your Coconut Water has been kept extra cold, it may not have turned pink yet. Our Coconut Water is clear when bottled, and turns pink over time due to varying levels of antioxidants and interaction with elements, such as light. An extra cool temperature can delay this pinking process.

Why did my bottles arrive frozen?
As we increase our efforts as a company to reduce waste and limit our carbon footprint, we ship our organic Coconut Water out frozen to avoid using excess packaging and ice packs.

-
My shipment arrived and the bottles are not cold. Is it still safe to drink?
We've spent years perfecting a unique filtration process to keep our coconut water tasting distinctly crisp and fragrant. This process makes it safe to ship non-refrigerated, but we do recommend refrigerating as soon as you receive your shipment to ensure optimal quality and taste. If your coconut water is left at ambient temperature for more than one week, the product may start to age more quickly than when refrigerated which will impact the taste, so it’s most important to make sure the product is consumed before the best by date printed on the bottle.

We do not use thermal pasteurization to process our coconut water or acidify our coconut water (by addition of ingredients like ascorbic acid), so it has a tendency to turn a pink hue. The bottles you purchased have simply not turned pink yet and are still our pure, organic coconut water!

Why is Harmless Harvest Harmless® Coconut Water pink?
Although coconut water comes out of the coconut clear, it can turn pink when the varying levels of antioxidants contained in the water interact with the elements, such as light. Instead of hiding this natural variation by adding Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid, we choose to embrace it. Pink or Clear – They’re both delicious!
-
Why are the bottles more uniform in their pink color now when I used to see some clear bottles?
Different crops/seasons may have varying levels of antioxidants, and our micro-filtration process mixes water from multiple coconuts/crops into a single batch – which may result in more bottles being uniform in color. It also extended the shelf life of our products, which could result in additional interaction with elements, such as light, at your local retailer.
-
Is Harmless Harvest® coconut water raw?
We are proud that we never thermally pasteurize our product, which means it’s as close to getting the water directly from a coconut. We use a proprietary multi-step micro-filtration process to extend shelf life in refrigerated conditions.
-
Is sugar added to Harmless Harvest® Coconut Water?
Nothing is added to our coconut water. The 14g of sugar in each serving are naturally occurring. Some people do think the unique coconuts we source are sweeter than those found in other parts of the world, contributions of the texture, fragrance, and proprietary methods of bottling.
-
What are the benefits of coconut water?
With essential electrolytes, such as potassium, coconut water is nature’s perfect creation for rehydration.
-
How long is my bottle of Harmless Harvest® Coconut Water good to drink after I open it?
We suggest consuming the product after opening within 4-5 days as long as the product has been refrigerated and no signs of spoilage exist. Signs of spoilage are carbonation, a strong smell, thickened consistency or altered taste. We do not suggest drinking the Coconut Water if any of these symptoms are present.
-
Can I drink my bottle of Harmless Harvest® Coconut Water after the best by date if it doesn’t look or taste spoiled?
Each bottle has a best by date which tells you how long our products will be of best quality at refrigerated temperatures. We do not recommend consuming our products past the best by dates listed on the bottles.
organic-coconut-water-with-pulp-aloe
-
Why is Harmless Harvest Harmless® Coconut Water with Pulp pink?
We don't add preservatives or additives to change the color of the water. Our micro-filtration process removes all microbes from the coconut water before bottling. Since we do not use thermal pasteurization to process our coconut water or acidify our coconut water (by addition of ingredients like ascorbic acid), our coconut water has a tendency to turn pink when the varying levels of antioxidants are exposed to elements, such as light.
Different crops/seasons may have varying levels of antioxidants, and our micro-filtration process mixes water from multiple coconuts/crops into a single batch, which may result in more bottles being uniform in color. This system has extended the shelf life of our products, which could result in additional interaction with light at your local retailer. -

Can children have your Dairy-Free Cup Yogurt Alternative?
Yes, it is safe for children without coconut food allergies to consume, but as always consult with your physician if you have concerns.
-
Why is liquid sometimes on the top of my yogurt alternative when I open it?
Some natural separation can occur over time and will mix back in upon stirring.
-
Can I freeze your Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative?
Freezing is not recommended because it affects the texture and consistency of the product.

-
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are microorganisms that are believed to provide health benefits when consumed in adequate quantities and help support the naturally occurring microflora in our bodies. Your digestive tract has been exposed to a steady stream of bacteria – some helpful, some harmful. One key to intestinal health is maintaining a balance of these helpful and harmful bacteria. Over time, many factors including diet, aging, antibiotic use, travel, medications, illness, stress, and hormonal changes, can disrupt intestinal balance. Probiotics help level the playing field of good and bad bacteria.
While there are a number of bacteria that are believed to provide benefits, only strains that have undergone controlled studies documenting the benefits may be called probiotics. Probiotics have been shown to help support digestive health and help maintain healthy immune systems depending of the specific strain consumed. -
What are the benefits of probiotics?
Probiotics help to support proper function of nutrients and better absorption of nutrients. They also help to support healthy digestion.
-
How many CFUs are in the Dairy-Free Yogurt Drink?
Probiotics are measured by CFUs. CFU is short for colony-forming unit. In microbiology, a colony-forming unit (CFU) is a unit used to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample.
Our product has 10 billion CFUs at the time of manufacture in an 8 fl. oz. bottle. From a technical standpoint, comparing the culture count to other probiotic products is not a good comparison since different probiotic strains are effective at different levels. -
How is the Dairy-Free Yogurt Drink made?
After extracting the coconut water, the coconut meat is hand scooped and trimmed to prepare it for milling into a fine puree. The puree is then combined with coconut water and pasteurized before adding vegan yogurt cultures to ferment into a refreshing probiotic beverage.
-
Is the product pasteurized?
Unlike our coconut water, the dairy-free yogurt drink is pasteurized. Similar to dairy-based beverages, pasteurization is required to ensure food safe quality of the final product. However, we take care to preserve the delicious natural flavors from our coconut meat and coconut water. Our product is pasteurized before adding the vegan yogurt cultures. This pasteurization step allows for a clean environment for the vegan yogurt cultures to ferment and thrive.
-
How do the cultures live through pasteurization?
Like milk yogurt, the base is pasteurized prior to fermentation. Adding the cultures after pasteurization allows them to thrive. Once the fermentation is completed, the beverage is immediately cooled to stop the fermentation then bottled.
-
Is your product Kosher? And how is KSA D certification different from just KSA?
We are Kosher certified by KSA and are considered KSA-D. Although we are a vegan product, we are manufactured in a facility that handles dairy and so we are considered KSA-D. However, we have rigorous processes and testing in place to ensure we do not have any dairy contamination in our products.
-
Can children drink the dairy-free yogurt drink?
Yes, it is safe for children to consume, but as always consult with your physician if you have concerns.
-
Does the product need to be refrigerated?
Yes. Our dairy-free yogurt drink is perishable and it must be maintained in refrigerated conditions at all times.

All the saturated fat comes from coconut. Everyone's dietary needs are different, so consume as part of your balanced diet. Please consult with your doctor or nutrition expert if there are concerns.

Why does this product contain corn starch and tapioca starch?
Both starches are used as thickeners to create a creamy texture.
-
