The Sustainable Harvesting Process

Coconut aminos are derived from the nutrient-rich sap of coconut flowers, through a process that prioritizes sustainability and quality. Here's a quick look at how coconut aminos are made at Lionheart Farms, from the initial harvesting to final distribution:

Coconut Organic Regenerative Farming

Selecting the right palms is crucial. We choose mature coconut palms, typically 10-15 years old, that are healthy as it will produce better quality sap. Moreover, we value sustainability at the heart of our harvesting approach, as we only collect the nutrient-rich sap without damaging the coconut palms. This careful method allows each palm to continue growing and producing sap, aligning with our regenerative agriculture principles. More than that, fostering healthy soil, biodiversity, and long-term tree vitality, our practices help sustain the ecosystem while delivering high-quality sap for coconut aminos production.

Harvesting the Coconut Sap

Timing plays a vital role in harvesting. The process occurs just before the coconut flowers bloom, when the sap is most concentrated with nutrients. Skilled climbers, known as "tappers," use traditional techniques and modern safety equipment to climb the coconut palms. The tapping process involves carefully cutting the tip of the coconut flower bud. A collection container, made from food-grade plastic, is attached to catch the sap. Regular scraping of the cut throughout the day keeps the sap flowing, allowing continuous collection from a single flower bud.

Sap Collection 

Frequent and timely sap collection is essential to preserving its freshness and nutritional value. Skilled tappers collect the sap twice daily, during the cool hours of early morning and late afternoon. Each drop is carefully gathered to ensure its purity and quality.

To maintain its freshness, the sap is immediately transported to our processing facility, where it undergoes swift preparation to prevent premature fermentation. This seamless system ensures that only the freshest sap is used in creating COCOES Coconut Aminos, preserving its rich nutrients and vibrant flavor for a superior product.

Fermentation Process

Natural fermentation transforms the sap into the flavorful and nutrient-rich base of coconut aminos. Once filtered, the sap is transferred to specialized fermentation tanks or vessels, where precise temperature and environmental controls are maintained.

Quality control experts closely monitor the process to ensure optimal flavor development and nutrient retention. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees a product that is both delicious and packed with health benefits, staying true to the high standards of COCOES.

Packaging and Quality Control

Here at COCOES, packaging isn’t just about presentation—it’s about maintaining the integrity of our coconut aminos from production to your table. Each bottle is filled in a sterile environment to ensure the purity and freshness of the product.

To guarantee the highest quality, every batch undergoes rigorous testing. This includes checks for:

• Flavor Consistency: Ensuring every bottle delivers the signature rich taste of coconut aminos.
• Nutritional Standards: Verifying the product's health benefits, including its low sodium and amino acid content.
• Safety Compliance: Conducting microbiological tests to uphold strict food safety standards.

Each bottle is then labeled with essential information, including nutritional facts and certifications, showcasing our commitment to transparency and quality.

Distribution and Storage

The journey from our farm to your table is designed to preserve the quality of every drop. After packaging, COCOES Coconut Aminos are stored in temperature-controlled warehouses to maintain freshness.

Health Benefits of Coconut Aminos

Coconut aminos are not only a delicious addition to meals but also offer numerous health benefits. They are naturally gluten-free, making them an excellent choice for those with gluten sensitivities. Unlike traditional soy sauce, coconut aminos contain lower sodium levels, supporting heart health and reducing the risk of hypertension. Rich in amino acids, they contribute to muscle repair and overall wellness. The fermentation process enhances the nutritional profile, adding beneficial enzymes and probiotics that aid digestion and boost the immune system.
