Where to buy

The Zico site links to Amazon and offers a retailer finder. Warehouse clubs and grocery chains also list multipacks. Stock varies by region, so check the finder before driving out.

Professional insight

Grocery buyers judge coconut water by its date and seal.

  • Pick the newest best by date on the shelf.
  • Check for added sugar if you want plain coconut water.
  • Squeeze cartons gently; swollen packs mean spoilage.
  • Buy multipacks only if you finish them before the date.
