What is the ‘new coconut water’?

Maple water

With Native Americans and North American explorers (literally) tapping into maple water hundreds of years ago and naming it ‘the wholesomest drink in the world’, it’s safe to say this is a drink that has certainly got our attention. So what is it? During the winter, the sap in maple trees collects nutrients from the soil and by springtime, this sap starts to run, delivering nutrients and vitality to the tree. The sap is then collected straight from the maple tree itself and bottled. Easy. So what’s it got on coconut water? Maple water is extremely nutrient-rich, meaning it is a great source of calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese (a powerful antioxidant also found in kale that could help with thyroid health and blood sugar control) and malic acid, which may help with muscle soreness and reduce fatigue. On top of that, it contains half the sugar of coconut water, is lower in calories, is everything-free (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, non-GMO – you get the idea) and, with one single ingredient, offers you great hydration with the yummy (albeit subtle) hint of maple.
