Want coconut water? Here’s the powder

There’s a shortcut to coconut water now. What’s more, the Telangana company behind it claims it goes the natural, preservative-free way

Cut. Pour. Add water. Stir. Did you ever think you could get coconut water as a powder from a sachet? Frister Foods delivers exactly that, even as it addresses concerns of taste, nutritional value and use of not-so-healthy preservatives. Frister Foods by Chevella Farms, a food processing company started by Shaaz Mehmood, Ishaan Dodhiwala and Muhammed Ali in Hyderabad has launched a product that no coconut water lover ever imagined — an instant coconut water powder which claims to be 100% natural, with no preservatives. It needs only 250 millilitres of water to make a glass of coconut water that tastes quite similar to natural coconut water (not tender coconut water).
