Slades – the Best Coconut Water Manufacturer in Australia

Established around 1860, Slades have been at the forefront of drink manufacturing in Australia for more than 150 years. From early days producing table ales in our first brewery, to developing a tasty range of carbonated soft drinks, we stay on top of trends and technology to ensure that we are always delivering the best in bottled beverages.

Our Cottonwood Springs brand bottles the most delicious spring water at source, while Angus O’Neil’sroot and ginger beer table ales are delivered in beautiful dark glass bottles. Quench Aqua Fruits offer delicious fruit juice drinks that are a balance of low joules and refreshing taste. For water, our Just Water range comes in cartons and is a no-fuss option popular with ecologically minded customers.

Of course, development of new products is all ongoing, and that is why Slades are aiming to be the best coconut water manufacturer in Australia.

Why Coconut Water?

Coconut water has been a trend in healthy beverages for a little while now, but the reason it is so popular among athletes and fitness gurus is because it is a natural alternative to sugary drinks.

Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside coconuts. This is often harvested from green coconuts – they are easier to open, and the water is tastier, and more plentiful in immature coconuts.

Coconuts are used for many things now, the flesh can be made into coconut oil for cooking, skin care and hair moisturising, and coconut milk too.

As a drink, coconut water is a relatively low-calorie option with a great flavour, so it is a much healthier option than many sugary fizzy drinks or juices. It is claimed that it can help aid weight-loss, although there is not yet any scientific evidence to back this up.

Coconut water might be a good drink option for athletes, as it has been suggested that it can improve endurance and performance. This claim comes from the composition of coconut water – containing glucose, sodium, and potassium, it has the same crucial components as commercial sports drinks. The potassium found in coconut water can lower blood pressure too!

Whether the health benefits are proven or not, coconut water is undoubtably more ‘interesting’ to drink than plain water and is a better option than sugar-filled soft drinks or juices.
