Back when I started drinking it, it wasn't all over the place in supermarkets! The only places to get it were either from the coconut or the canned juices sold in international supermarkets, which I avoided because they weren't raw and had added sugar. So given my experience opening actual coconuts, I've never seen the point in paying 3 times as much or more for the bottled kind, which usually doesn't taste as good (granted I haven't tried this particular brand, which looks promising aside from the plastic). And the cheapest place to get them is Asian markets, for $1.50 each usually, less than Whole Foods or what-have-you. And they actually aren't THAT hard to open. I use a hand drill to make two holes for draining the juice, then chop it open with a big butcher knife to get the meat. Always the best fresh!! :)Allysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528456611384174909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436838512938962987.post-85809811362712941382012-12-03T20:55:09.884-05:002012-12-03T20:55:09.884-05:00Just Say No to plastic. http://5gyres.org<a href="http://5gyres.org" rel="nofollow">Just Say No</a> to <a href="http://pendantry.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/calling-time-on-plastic-gyres/" rel="nofollow">plastic</a>. http://5gyres.org Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436838512938962987.post-31529649249700381202012-12-03T20:51:36.967-05:002012-12-03T20:51:36.967-05:00Hi Rhonda- Thanks for your interest in our coconut...Hi Rhonda- Thanks for your interest in our coconut water and sorry that you had difficulty reaching us. Did you try emailing or calling? We would really like to make sure nothing's falling through the cracks, so we appreciate your feedback.<br /><br />We totally understand your feelings about plastic and it's not a decision we made lightly. We talk about our use of plastic on an almost daily basis, looking to see if there's a better option for us. Like you said, we've chosen to maintain a raw product by utilizing a high pressure system that is not compatible with glass. There are additional questions about the carbon footprint of making and transporting heavy glass, but the pressure system is the clincher for us. <br /><br />The heatless pressure system we use inhibits microbiological growth, allowing for a longer shelf life while maintaining the organoleptic and nutritional aspects that you love so much in a freshly cracked coconut. <br /><br />We are working on new packaging from rPET plastic (100% post consumer, no virgin plastic), understanding that some people will never buy our coconut water because of the packaging, even with this change. It's your choice, and we completely understand. If you would like to talk about this more please call us at 347-467-0733 or email info@harmlessharvest.com.
