Natural Prebiotic* Kokonati organic coconut water vinegar is made from the coconut water leftover after breaking the coconut and using the kernel to press out coconut oil . The coconut water is aged in wooden vats with the naturally occurring mother vinegar from the coconut sap , for 6 to 12 months. The vinegar is then flash-pasteurized and bottled immediately. Wisp-like mother vinegar form once bottled, this is normal due to the unrefined nature of vinegar.

It is considered a functional ‘superfood’ because it has healing benefits beyond its nutritional contents. In comparison with an Apple, a Coconut has more nutrients, that is the reason why coconut cider vinegar and even coconut water have more potency than apple cider vinegar. It comes from a source that’s naturally higher in minerals and other phytonutrients, the coconut.
