My Organic Coconut Water Conundrum
Written by Max Goldberg on March 4, 2011. Follow Max on Twitter: @livingmaxwell.
Coconut water is one of the most popular and fastest growing drinks on the market for one main reason — it tastes so good.
Furthermore, it is touted as the best post-workout drink due to its large number of electrolytes. There always seems to be someone who is drinking it immediately after my yoga classes.
Yet, nearly every box of coconut water that you see people drinking from is not organic.
My Dilemma
Even though many organic food restaurants use young Thai coconuts, these coconuts are not organic. They are shipped in formaldehyde from Thailand in order prevent mold from growing on the outside of the fruit.
Furthermore, I have heard that they plant sugar into the ground where the coconut palm trees are grown in order to get a much sweeter taste. Read More »
Pressed Organic Pomegranate Juice at Organic Avenue

It doesn’t happen very often but I had one of those moments the other day. Yes, one of those moments when I come across an organic product that really blows me away.
The last time I felt this way was when I discovered Grower Pete’s Lettuce.
This time it was the pressed organic pomegranate juice at Organic Avenue, a well-known raw food and juice take-out place here in NYC.
Most organic pomegranate juice that can be purchased at a supermarket is either from concentrate or is mixed in with other juices.
The one that I got at Organic Avenue wasn’t pasteurized or made from concentrate or mixed in with any other juice. Furthermore, and most importantly, it was freshly pressed.
As I write about often, I am huge fan of pressed organic juice. Not only is it more nutritious but it just tastes better. Read More »

Last week, I went to the Natural Products Expo East Trade Show in Boston. I just absolutely love these shows. Not only do I get to meet some fantastic people but I have the opportunity to see the newest products on the market.
These are the best organic food products that I came across.
SIPP – GINGER BLOSSOM SODA
I can only describe Sipp’s ginger blossom soda in one word – WOW.
When I first took a sip, I experienced the ginger. Then literally within one second, the ginger vanished and vanilla poured in. It was like Houdini played a trick on me.
The aftertaste was where things calmed down and I could reflect on what was in my mouth. If I could compare it to anything, I’d say this drink tastes like a cream soda. The few ingredients include ginger, lime, vanilla and agave nectar.
I am not a huge organic soda drinker but this beverage was simply outstanding. It was very, very hard to put down. Read More »
