Pacific Foods Adds Organic Coconut to Line-up of Non-Dairy Beverages

Pacific Foods’ new Organic Coconut Non-Dairy Beverage offers two layers of authentic coconut flavor with the healthy richness of coconut milk, and the refreshing taste of coconut water, say officials for the company. The beverage comes in three flavors: Original, Unsweetened Original and Unsweetened Vanilla. Nothing but Coconut The first full line on the market without carrageenan and cane sugar, Pacific’s new offerings are made using the whole coconut – both the cream and the water – to create the most authentic flavor possible, add officials. “All of our non-dairy beverages are crafted to showcase the true flavor and nutritional benefits of their featured ingredients,” says Kevin Tisdale, vice president of marketing for Pacific Foods. “For this line, we were determined to let the flavor of organic coconuts shine through. The key ingredient was right in front of us – coconut water. It not only gives the drink a hint of sweetness, it increases its nutritional content and enhances the coconut flavor naturally." As for nutrition, the new collection of coconut non-dairy beverages is an excellent source of vitamin D and vitamin B12, say officials. All of Pacific’s new coconut beverages are certified organic and free of GMOs, as well as vegan, dairy-free, soy-free and gluten-free. Like all of Pacific’s products, they’re packaged in BPA-free, shelf-stable cartons. They’ll hit shelves at natural food stores and conventional grocers nationwide this April (SRP $2.82-$3.64 for 32 oz.).
