EXOTIC SUPERFOODS’ COCONUT STORY

lacuma — Thu, 05 May 2011 22:46:37 +0000

Exotic Superfoods started as a raw food store/restaurant in 2006 in Queens, New York. In our juice bar and restaurant, we used a lot of the conventional young Thai coconuts like every other raw food juice bars and restaurants; but fortunate circumstances had led us to find that the conventional coconuts were not “fresh, raw, and organic” as we thought and believed. Our initial research showed that these young Thai coconuts were dipped in harmful chemicals before being shipped to the United States. We also further discovered that the conventional young Thai coconuts were sprayed with fungicides and other harmful chemicals on the farms while they were grown: these young Thai coconuts were CONVENTIONAL: grown and processed with harmful chemicals. And there were more issues with these conventional young Thai coconuts; it was and still is this general misconception of its freshness and young quality; they are, indeed, not as fresh and young as people think and believe. After the coconuts are harvested and processed for shipping, it takes the coconuts about 1-1/2 to 2 months to arrive into the United States; and, furthermore, this period does not include store/market shelf life thereafter!: They are not “young” nor “fresh,” they are aged coconuts and the harmful chemicals to preserve them. So, due to the long ocean voyage and considerable shelf life thereafter, the conventional young Thai coconuts therefore have to be treated in harmful chemicals to deter bacteria and mold growth. Veritably, these conventional young coconuts are not healthy to consume. They are truly not fit for raw food or non raw food lifestyle, at all. At this point, we decided to no longer use the conventional young Thai coconuts in our store. This decision had created difficulties and problems: we had no coconuts for our juice bar and restaurant and furthermore, a lot of our clients who patronized our store were purchasing, predominantly, our prepared foods, juices, and smoothies made from them.
WE HAVE TO HAVE GOOD QUALITY HEALTHY AND NUTRITIOUS YOUNG COCONUTS SOMEHOW AND SOMEWHERE! We started to try other sources of young coconuts in the market. The first that we tried was the big green young coconuts. Although these coconuts had a lot of coconut water, they lacked the coconut flavor and sweetness of the conventional young Thai coconut variety; also, these green coconuts came with very little coconut meat that we needed for a lot of our raw food recipes. In our store, most people were shy and confused about purchasing them for their own use at home because these green coconuts were hard and dangerous to open and would leave the kitchen a sticky pile of coconut shell fragments and sticky spilled coconut juice everywhere. What waste, what mess! We had to find another source. With time and perseverance, we found a second source of coconut in Thailand where we could import certified organic young Thai coconuts. We had the certified organic young Thai coconuts flown into New York overnight because they were not chemically treated so its shelf life was very limited. When we received our first shipment of certified organic young Thai coconuts, they were perfect: the coconut water was very coconutty tasting and they contained the right amount of young coconut meat in each one superb and practical for raw food recipes. These young certified organic Thai coconuts were naturally sweeter than the other varieties of the coconuts in the market because these certified organic Thai coconut variety were call the Fragrant variety. They were selected and picked for its natural and organic sweetness. Although we were happy with the certified organic young Thai coconuts compared to the conventional young Thai coconuts there were still problems: Firstly, the cost of shipping the organic young Thai coconuts overnight was extremely expensive which made the price of these coconuts very high and not economical nor practical for people to buy on a regular basis; and secondly, our larger and primary problem, was shelf life of these organic coconuts; we noticed that after two weeks of storage in the refrigerator, the organic young Thai coconuts started to grow mold on the outside of their shells. With the high cost of these organic coconuts and their short shelf life resulted in spoilage, refuse and waste. What waste! Although these organic coconuts were perfect: certified organic, raw, and not treated with chemicals, we decided they were not our long term solution. So, we contacted our associates in Thailand and told them our problems with these organic young Thai coconuts. After some time of trials and testings came the solution: Upon harvesting the fresh young organic coconuts, the coconut water and coconut meat were instantly bottled and placed into bags and froze immediately. This would allow the coconut water and coconut meat NOT to age at all until they were defrosted and ready to eat or drink. This simple solution maintain the young freshness and the flavor of the organic coconut water and coconut meat. And, on a definite plus side, the shipping was cheaper because the frozen coconut water and coconut meat were shipped in a freezer ocean container and no longer flown in overnight. When we received our first shipment of the frozen organic coconut water and coconut meat, our priorities were to do further testing and sampling to make certain this frozen process did not effect the quality of the coconut water and coconut meat. Every frozen bottle of coconut water and frozen bag of coconut meat had to taste as good as if the coconut was picked right from the tree: after multiple samplings and testings, the coconut water was, indeed, as flavorful and sweet as the fresh young organic coconuts and the coconut meat as soft, silky and delicious as if we would spoon the coconut meat from its fresh source. The experience was similar if not the same as having a freshly harvested organic coconut off the tree but without the messy labor, of course. This simple solution also made our raw food preparations easier and simpler: the products came recipe ready all we had to do was to defrost completely and use. We no longer had to worry and be anxious about the shelf life of the coconuts as long as the products were kept frozen until ready to use. With all these good fortune we had a misfortunate: after two years in business, we closed our raw food store due to monetary reasons. But, we loved, believed, and lived in spirit with our raw food lifestyle: where our foods are organically delicious, unprocessed, simple, and easy. We all love young coconuts; but we do not have to be subjected to having just eating and drinking CONVENTIONALLY grown ones. We decided to start a new venture and offer Exotic Superfoods’ 100% certified organic, raw, and frozen young Thai coconut water and coconut meat to all the health food stores, juice bars, restaurants, and people everywhere. Today, we no longer have to choose between chemically treated “fresh” and “young” coconuts and chemically processed pasteurized coconut products; now people and stores are given the option to drink and eat raw unpasteurized certified organic coconut water and coconut meat.

The Top 10 (and more) Reasons We Eat and Drink Raw Certified Organic Coconut Water And Coconut Meat:

We love the NATURALLY sweet essence of the coconut water.
We use the coconut water to make superfood drink daily. It is an excellent way to eat superfoods. The coconut water makes everything tastes awesome and delicious.
Coconut water, for its NATURALLY occurring electrolytes: calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium.

For using the coconut meat to make deliciously smooth and creamy desserts of anything that we can imagine.

IT IS CERTIFIED ORGANIC AND UNHEATED.
We love to make our own fresh, organic, and raw coconut milk smoothie. It takes about 12oz of coconut water and 1/2 pound of the coconut meat and blend until smooth, then enjoy and savor. And, also, we love to put in fresh fruits and or superfoods for variation; no need to add sweetener.
An organic and raw coconut superfood smoothie is veritably satisfying, complete, energizing, and empowering meal any time during the day.

2 Simple Steps Before Drinking the Coconut Water:
1. Please place the frozen coconut water in the fridge to defrost.
2. Please try not to drink the coconut water until it is COMPLETELY defrosted. But, if you do happen to drink the coconut water in its defrosting stage, the coconut water would seem to be much more sweeter than normal. The simple reason is that sugars have a HIGHER freezing point than water. The sugars in the coconut water would naturally defrost faster than the water. So, if you would to consume the coconut water when it is not completely defrosted, you would consume the sugars first and the rest of the coconut water would seem bland or flavorless. So, please defrost the coconut water completely, then shake well and enjoy.

Nutritional Value of UNPASTEURIZED and ORGANIC Coconut Water:

It has five essential electrolytes: calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium. It has 15X more potassium than most sport drinks in the market. And, on the definite plus side, our coconut water has no artificial chemicals, sugars, colors, preservatives, and flavors. Our coconut water taste great naturally, organically, and rawciously.

Nutritional Value of UNPASTEURIZED and ORGANIC Coconut Meat:

100% certified organic raw coconut meat naturally contains live enzymes, lauric acid, and all the other immune system building nutrients. Except from picking and opening the nut, there is little human handling in the process. THERE ARE NO CHEMICALS AND PRESERVATIVES. Coconut meat is composed primarily of 44.6% lauric acid, which is used by the body to make disease-fighting fatty acids.

Certified Organic Young Thai Coconut Farms:

Farms are located in remote areas in Thailand allowing for clean surroundings, clear irrigation of water and clean farm history. The 1st farm reached organic certification in May 2007. The farms use growing techniques such as mulching, crop mixing, hand-mowing, and composting. THERE ARE NO CHEMICALS involve during the whole production of our coconut products.

The Other Traditional Commercial Coconut Farms:

These farms use herbicides and chemical fertilizers from growing to harvesting to shipping. Some of the common post harvest treatments involve dipping the coconuts in fungicides and bleach, injection of preservatives to prolong shelf life, heating and freezing of the coconut to ensure shelf life for the 3-week long ocean freight voyage and the 1-2 month shelf life thereafter.

Traditional Commercial Coconut Farms Shipping Coconut by Ocean Freight:

These Companies who ship their non-organic coconuts by ocean freight makes the product cheaper, but the cost of quality is severe. It has pesticides, and chemical spray coated on the coconuts to prevent spoilage. When it reaches consumers, the coconut has been in transport for at least 6 weeks. By then the product could be moldy, spoiled, and fermented; and the young coconut is no longer “young”, it is evidently quite “old.”

Other Coconut Products On the Market:

Coconut water in tetra-paks are heated, pasteurized, preserved, and flavored. There are no nutritional value left after the product has been heated at high temperature and chemically preserved for long shelf life. So, the consumers are no longer drinking a hydrating and nutritious beverage, and, dutifully noted, that the coconut water is not certified organic, so from growing to sitting on the market shelves, it is just an adulterated and highly processed chemical drink. Besides the attractive packaging of the product, there is nothing of value in the coconut water market today. That is all.

Zana Bio-Juice: Most Potent, 100% LIVING, and All Organic Vegetarian Probiotic Juice

lacuma — Thu, 20 May 2010 06:30:17 +0000

A HEALTH TOAST TO ZANA, ALL ORGANIC VEGETARIAN LIVING POTENT PROBIOTIC JUICE:
I ENJOY GREAT HEALTH. It is no longer a big mystery to me, but it does take some time and work. And when you reach your goal, do take a moment and celebrate with a healthful toast; and my toast is Zana. Today, my health regime, quiet simple (well, simplicity will eventually come, I promise.) : “EAT WELL” through practice, consciousness of actions, patience, diligence, exercise, LOVE, and ZANA. This season, I would like to share with you, everyone, my story of ZANA. I started drinking ZANA, an all vegetarian-organic-LIVING probiotic (Life Giving) juice, more than 1 year and a 1/2 ago (it was introduced to me by Soni Davidow, an ever so-sweet lady). … Well, anyway, Zana, the red juice, veritably, tastes like… mix-vegetable broth, hmm, with a definite hint of tartness and spice. And, its’ smell, well it smells like… garlic-onions and vegetables. Still, I say ZANA’s aroma is quiet unique. Many people associate the red juice with sauerkraut and Kim-Chee and even tasting like them as well. And some others automatically connect the red color of the juice with something sweet, like fruit juice. It is funny to observe when people are tasting ZANA for the 1st time and their expectation did not prevail. Although, I must say, I drink it not just for its taste (I truly LOVE the taste of this stuff), but the awesome value that is in the 3oz drink. MAGICAL. The secrets of ZANA are the millions of 15 POTENT, LIVING, LIFE GIVING and ALL ORGANIC VEGETARIAN beneficial bacteria (L. Rhamnosus, L. Acidophilus, L. Plantarum, L. Salvarius, L. Casei, L. Paracasei, S. Thermophilus, B. Bifidum, B. Longum, B. Breve, B. Infantis, L. Brevis, L. Fermentum, L. Helveticus, and, L. Lactis). Every moment I think and imagine that these millions of hardworking, awesome organisms protecting me every moment of the day better and more powerful than most if not all other products that I have come across. After drinking Zana for more than a 1-1/2, it is no surprise that waking up in the morning is not a dread or a chore. My body feels limber, alive, and my spirit inspires to begin the day. A new day to begin anew; it is a gift. I feel everyday that I must seize the opportunity to express my wealth. All the days to do with just as I wish because my body feels “RIGHT”, STRONG, and YOUTHFUL. I smile without strain, enjoy without guilt and worries, work in contentment and satisfaction, and loving all = I just drink ZANA 3 oz a day on an empty stomach in the morning before breaking fast and along with my healthy and healthful regimen. A moment please, I must recommend this, that everyone should find and discover their own healthful regime (it is quiet achievable, patience is the key) because everyone is different from each other after all. Even I am different from my own twin sister. Li takes ZANA her way (on her empty stomach every other day, and not always before breaking her fast. And sometimes she changes her whole routine around just to make everything fresh and interesting.) and her healthful regime is different from mine. She looks a picture of perfect health, beautiful, in my estimation. I must say, if all I have to do to achieve wondrous health is just drink ZANA, I would, and drink like vegetable broth in the morning instead of the sweet grass juice. (You know which one. And, if you have not already, go, run, don’t skip as that would be silly, to your nearest health food spot and get a shot of wheatgrass!) And, while you are there, do take a look about and explore, you’ll never know what you may find. ’Hey, what’s that curious looking red juice there. ZANA.’

LIVE LOVINGLY
I HAVE DISCOVERED that it is a gift, indeed a great-precious gift, to be here upon this green-brown-blue earth. She is Great Giving, she is Mother Earth. Her soil, sun, sky, and all that she is. I am bless that I have choices; to be able to make positive/decisive changes while I am here. My spirit soaring because I have found true health, I have found Zana. And that living in good health I can do most anything that I desire regardless of age. As long as I am here upon this earth, I will keep soaring in spirit and body. In return for this spiritual wonder, I am here, today, to share Zana with everyone who wish and desire to live healthily, joyfully, naturally, and harmoniously. We all do not have to follow the same regime, protocol, or doctrine, but we can communicate and give support about our ideas and actions that we take to obtain and maintain health. Ultimately, it is one’s decision to make as one’s health is one’s own. So, let us make our concept of health be that of our own and not of others; be not confused and dismayed as to the inundated amount of choices available to us today; please, let our own bodies, our hearts, and not of our minds, be our truest guidance and master. Although, some more suggestions, give your body its chance to heal itself, grasp some moments of your busy day to take conscious steps to improving your health: take up some healthful habits, give yourself a gift of hope and faith that you can do it, and never, never look back once you did. Again, with practice, consciousness of actions, patience, diligence… LOVE, we all WILL find our way back into living as nature intended. This season, I dare not say more as I am only a student of life, but I must honor this, I’d like to share with everyone what is awesome and wonderful in my life: my loving-loving husband, Matt, my dearest sister Li, and MOM (who drinks her ZANA, 3 oz, every morning when she wakes and on her empty stomach. Stay tune for her story…), and ZANA BIO-JUICE 3 oz a day on my empty stomach.

Love yourself greatly, and share that love with everyone, give hugs to all and sundry (all if possible) or hearty handshakes will do, and live to be a master of your own body, truly,
Ming

P.S. If you cannot and will not bypass the smell and taste of red ZANA Bio-Juice, try the new ZANA Ginger Bio Juice (It is 100% ginger and nothing else, and most importantly let us not forget the potent, Living probiotics in the juice. The juice is not red but golden yellow ginger color. And, the smell is quiet mild and lovely. Its’ taste, well, like unsweetened spicy ginger-ale, the best kind, promise.). I like this one very much, it makes me warm all over; an excellent blood circulator. Ginger is wonderful to boost one’s immune system. I imagine that many people would like this one.

ZANA GINGER JUICE 15 has L. Rhamnosus, L. Acidophilus, L. Plantarum, L. Salvarius, L. Casei, L. Paracasei, S. Thermophilus, B. Bifidum, B. Longum, B. Breve, B. Infantis, L. Brevis, L. Fermentum, L. Helveticus, and L. Lactis.

*And, we also have Zana Turmeric Bio-Juice. Turmeric, AN ANTIOXIDANT SUPER-STAR, AN EXCELLENT ANTI-INFLAMMATION ROOT, AND A SUPERD HEALER.

*All Zanas do not contain nor grown from these following foods: SUGARS, WHEAT, GLUTEN, DAIRY, OR SOY. Zanas are 100% certified organic and LIVING.

THANK YOU: Thomas J. Corbett, the creator of Zana, and Sunny Davidow, a sweet lady who introduced us to Zana.

So, many thanks and appreciation, live lovingly,
