Compare all 2 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 2 exact records in this guide report 43–133 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 18–37 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Coconut water, begin by separating “Coconut water, sweetened” from “Coconut water, unsweetened.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. All sit within “Fruit drinks.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “coconut water.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Coconut water, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2707573 through FDC 2707572. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

240–360 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.5× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

19 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “unsweetened”; the higher is “sweetened.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

1 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “sweetened” (25 mg) and “unsweetened” (26 mg).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every coconut water.

Important: “Lower” begins with Coconut water, unsweetened; “higher” ends with Coconut water, sweetened, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every coconut water meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Coconut water, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 240 to 360 grams—a 120-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 43 calories for “unsweetened” to 133 for “sweetened.” At a fixed 100 grams, “unsweetened” is 18 calories and “sweetened” is 37—a fixed-weight separation of 19 calories. For Coconut water, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “sweetened” and “unsweetened”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beverages, coconut water, ready-to-drink, unsweetened; differentiating rows include sugars, granulated. On this Coconut water page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Coconut water” cannot resolve the differences between Coconut water, sweetened and Coconut water, unsweetened. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 240–360 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “sweetened” and “unsweetened”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include beverages, coconut water, ready-to-drink, unsweetened; rows that vary across the set include sugars, granulated. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Coconut water, sweetened” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Coconut water unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that coconut water is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“sweetened” and “unsweetened”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Coconut water source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 2 exact records behind Coconut water source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Coconut water, sweetened is higher in total sugars per 100 g

Coconut water, sweetened reports 8.8 g versus 3.9 g for Coconut water, unsweetened: a 4.9 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Coconut water, unsweetened is denser; Coconut water, sweetened is higher in its source amount

Coconut water, unsweetened reports 0.2 g per 100 g and 0.5 g in USDA source amount (240 g). Coconut water, sweetened reports a lower 0.2 g per 100 g but a higher 0.8 g in USDA source amount (360 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Coconut water, sweetened and Coconut water, unsweetened are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Sugar wording (sweetened versus unsweetened) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
