With the added benefit of valuable mineral nutrients
and vitamins and few calories.
A real natural treasure is waiting
to be discovered by you…
Coconut juice / coconut water is the only fruit juice to make it into the green “B” segment of the NUTRI-SCORE nutrition traffic light system.
The tropical thirst quencher is fat-free and contains minerals that the body needs, such as magnesium and calcium — 250 millilitres even contain more potassium than a banana. With only 4.6 grams of fruit sugar and between 11 and 19 calories per 100 millilitres, it has the fewest calories and lowest sugar content of all fruit juices.
To provide you with transparent information about these positive nutritional properties, as of now we are labelling all packaging with the NUTRI-SCORE logo. “In addition to the FAIRTRADE logo, the NUTRI-SCORE is an additional positive, visible added value for customers who buy organic, conscientiously make purchases and value sustainability topics like health and fair trade”, says Coco-boss Stefan Reiss, who has managed the company based in Nuremberg for over 15 years.
Dr. Antonio Martins stands for coconut juice in organic and premium quality.
With our founding history around the Brazilian pediatrician and namesake of our brand Dr. Antonio Martins, we have stood for the highest coconut juice standards since the beginning. Also officially for fair trade since 2019.
Since our foundation, we have successfully built long and sustainable partnerships, including in Brazil and Sri Lanka. The young coconuts for the premium product brand grow here in organically certified coconut gardens. The coconuts for the coconut water made from green, ripe nuts are also harvested in Sri Lanka in organic quality – but from somewhat larger plantations exclusively by local harvest specialists.
In order to set an example here for good working conditions, fair wages and good health care for the workers and their families, our coconut water made from green, ripe nuts has been officially ©FAIRTRADE certified since January 2019.

From spring 2019, Dr. Antonio Martins coconut water pure organic hits the organic shelves in a new summery tropical design.
The coconut water comes from sun-ripened green coconuts – from selected certified organic plantations in Sri Lanka.
Dr. Antonio Martins wants to guarantee a good everyday life for the farmers, workers and their families in terms of their education, health care and housing situation.
That is why the tropical thirst quencher now carries the FAIRTRADE seal and is therefore the first European coconut water with this official certification.
In this way, Coco ensures a better, independent future for all workers in the country of harvest – and in a chic new summer outfit.
Start the sunny season with Coco – wonderfully refreshing, colourful and fair to farmers!
Why does pure coconut juice often turn pink? And can you still drink it without worry?
Within a few days of harvesting, the juice of young coconuts changes colour to a delicate pink. That’s because naturally contained enzymes become active within it. In technical terms the process is oxidisation and the enzyme is phenolase. The enzyme content is particularly high in young coconuts – therefore the pink colouration is present exclusively in the precious juice of young coconuts.
This chic colour is not a defect but in fact actually a quality feature.
It’s a clear indication that the juice has been treated and processed as gently as possible.
So: Enjoy a true treasure of nature – especially when it’s pink.
Because there are sometimes doctors in advertising who are purely fictional, we would like to tell you who our Dr Martins actually is. He really does exist …
The story of coco is closely linked to the life of Dr Antonio Martins. He was born in Goiania, Brazil, so he grew up with coconut juice. You could say he has been familiar with the many beneficial properties of young coconut juice as a natural thirst-quencher from an early age. He later worked in many countries around the world as an internationally renowned specialist in sports medicine, nutritional medicine and paediatrics. He finally moved to Austria in 1981. At his practise in Vienna, mothers frequently came to him with the question: “What is the best drink for our child?”

Dr Antonio Martins simply could not rest. It had to be possible to bring coconut juice to Europe as a drink. But not just any kind. Only the best possible quality. Produced as an organic product as sustainably as possible. A very simple idea, really. And yet so difficult to achieve …
Many years were spent looking for small farmers, certifying coconut plantations as organic and developing a process that gets the delicate coconut juice from the fresh, young coconut into bottles and packaging in such a way that it retains both its value and its flavour. This is not so easy if you want the coconut juice from young coconuts to be processed as little as possible and do not want to use any preservatives or other chemicals.
In 2002 it was finally accomplished. That is how long original Dr Antonio Martins’ coco has existed. And how long many thousands of satisfied people all over the world have been saying, “For me, coco is the best coconut juice ever”.
Thank you for always believing in your idea, Dr Antonio Martins. Now we can drink coconut juice that tastes like it is fresh from the nut. So easy to buy from the shop around the corner.

high and low …The taller the tree, the sweeter the fruit? Coconut palms are real giants: 20 to 25 metres in height is totally normal. So in many tropical countries they are also called the “tree of the sky”. For the coconut harvesters it is much less practical. The taller the palm, the more laborious, dangerous and expensive it is to collect the coconuts. In many countries monkeys are trained and sent up the palms to harvest the coconuts. It is easier with low-growing coconut palm cultivars – they exist too. Tall palms, low palms – the coconuts are all equally good … |
