- John from www.okraw.com/ shows you how fresh, raw coconut kefir soda and yogurt are made. You will learn how you can make this healthy beverage and food at home as well as some of the amazing health benefits of coconut kefir.
In this episode, John visits Hawaiian Superfoods in Maui, Hawaii who produce commercially local grown coconuts into a delicious coconut kefir soda aka coconut water kefir as well as coconut kefir creme aka coconut yogurt kefir fresh every week. You will discover the process of taking fresh, young coconuts and transforming them into a product that is healthier than the raw coconut and has a significantly longer shelf life.
First, John will take you inside Hawaiian superfoods and share with you some of the many benefits of the local grown Maui coconut. You will then discover how thousands of young coconuts are opened every week so that they can be transformed into coconut kefir products.
Next, you will learn how Hawaiian Superfoods carefully hand scoops the young coconut meat and grades each one to transform them into coconut creme kefir with yogurt-like consistency or Coconut Milk.
You will then discover how a kefir culture is added that will bring alive the coconut creme mixture to create a healthy probiotic rich food.
Finally, John will sit down with Chef Elijah Manahan and ask him the following questions about the Raw and unpasturized Coconut Kefir products he makes every week.

I'd love another video with Elijah! There's so much good information and he's very well spoken and seems comfortable so it's enjoyable to listen! 👌🤘
Lucretia Anderson I was just thinking the same, but rather Elijah needs to have his own TH-cam channel, just to share the wealth of information he knows from his own personal research and experience!! And some raw chef recipes also!! 😄
His storys good and u can tell he loves what he does. Work is work. U can tell he works. But hes passionate. And he looks healthy as hell.
The fact that hes gorgeous doesnt hurt either lol
I live on Maui just tried this product for the first time a week ago and it was some of the best I decided to try to look up a coconut kefir recipe to my surprise there's John interviewing the very company that's making the best coconut kefir thanks John and Elijah
Aloha John & Elijah, Mahalo nui loa for the invaluable info on the this high vibration living foods! Elijah, I'm thrilled to see transparent, high integrity incredible company's like Maui Coconut Keifer, thriving in the islands!! John, as always you bring the best!! Thank you both so very much for your tremendous Aloha & generosity!! Aloha nui!
Why down play komboucha and sauerkraut. Life is balance....
The importance of one product should stand on it's own merit and not try to down play the others
Theyre foods. Hot humans. The food doesnt xare what u think. Its not still growing
And....i dont think the coconut knows u want it to show how it solved its mathhomework problems. Lol some things are more beneficial then others. U find out by COMPARISON. God...get a brain.
Thank you. Educational and fun to learn about. After getting very ill from a toxic and unhealthy food chain I now study all ways to help myself to recover from food toxicity and understand how good food can lead me back to our natural state of health and vitality.
Elijah's energy is contagious. Bless both of you wonderful people. Thank you for your work in healing people. God bless!!!
Best and most informative video I've watched ever! I'm so glad I came across it. Thank you so much, guys.
fantastic video and explanations. wonderful thank you so much
Thank you both very much.
This is long, but it's so jam-packed with wonderful info! Makes me wish I lived somewhere coconuts grow!
1:45 That's some genius advertising lol. So appetizing.
Amazing video guys. Thank you so much John and Elijah. You are doing amazing things. So inspirational. I hope I get to go to Maui one day and taste Elijah's products!
Great things to know and thank you!
thank you so much Elijah for sharing so much ,,,and thinking about using ur coconuts so we keep having coconuts on our earth in healthy way ,🌹
Okay, now I want this stuff and can't get it. Definitely going to try making my own. I have MCS and want to heal my immune system. Did my first ferment two weeks ago. Wow. Love it. Thanks, boys. Enjoyed this video!
This is awesome! I wish I knew this when visiting Maui!!! 🤩
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing and caring 💚. I love coconut and coconut Kefir 😍😍😍😍
Wow! Mahalo guys! That was a ton of good information and answered several questions for me.
You're making me wish we lived in Maui! Thanks for all of the great information! If we ever come to Maui, my goal is to try some of these!
Excellent interview John. Lot's of great information. Mahalo
Aloha my brother Elijah!!! I'm so happy to have found this video! I appreciate so much your passion about nui and our na'au. Mahalo for sharing your mana'o
YEA!!!!! I've ordered probiotics and i'm going to make some healing coconut yogurt myself at home!!! :D
what a beautiful product, I'm now a new customer, great job by the chef too
when doing the fermentation do you do it room temperature? or the whole process of fermentation takes place in the fridge?
Amazing video.
Great Great video, can't wait to try some!!....I guess I need to go to Mayi!! 💚 💚 💚
good stuff and continuous information.
awesome! Learning about kefir! (my friend just gave me a batch!
This was an amazing video! I'm going to get a brix meter now too!
I would love some! Phoenix, Arizona
Wow! Absolutely brilliant vid
Thank you for caring and doing things right.
One by one, we can heal the world and it's people.
🌴🌱💗👌
Great video!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thx for the video
What did u eat that u got sick?🤕
Does it make sense to blend mature coconut with water or better to chew? Which way better digested?
Great job Elijah .Regard from croatia
I've done Donna Gates, The Body Ecology and it rocks! I ferment my own food and that quality of product in this video is by far the super foods of all times. I'm so bummed I'm not living on Maui🙌
Body Ecology is expensive. Get your own Kombucha SCOBY, kefir grains, etc. and you can ferment your own stuff indefinitely for a fraction of the price.
@@robinlillian9471 Agreed. I have been fermenting my own water kefir and coconut kefir for a few years now. I was even making ginger beer made with a ginger bug until I discovered the original bacteria which was used in the UK referred to as a ginger beer plant. Now I have a ginger beer plant, water kefir grains and a bunch of ferments going at the same time.
Always the best videos, so much knowledgeable information, MAHALO JOHN, When you moving to Hawai'I
Awesome video John. Do you have a video on how Bragg's makes their organic acv with the mother?? I think that would be great!!
WELL DONE BRAVO
Great information, n i do love coconut water over any type of water except zamzam which is the best tasting water.. i love the coconut kefir.. i wish to order some ... but im in NY
Elijah is an awesome dude...please do another video with him
Everyone he interviews is awesome! :)
awesome!
What is the temperature? 90 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Just wondering if i can still make coconut milk kefir without fresh coconut? But not out of can coconut milj
So where can one currently purchase Maui Coconut Kefir?
Wish I could get it here in NY!
Easy. Buy Water Kefir grains on Amazon or from some other seller if you don't know someone who has them. Coconut water is available in the supermarket. Just be sure to get some without preservatives or it won't ferment. Milk Kefir grains would probably work on coconut milk if it also doesn't have preservatives, but they might not multiply. People have been fermenting their own drinks for countless millennia with no problem.
So much useful info here. Serotonin connection with the vagus nerve was great. I've stopped drinking Kombucha because it was ruining my teeth. It was burning the enamel off my teeth, leaving me very sensitive. Just like this guy said. You can use a straw to avoid it touching your teeth, but I found even using a baking soda rinse afterwards wasn't helping, it was still destroying my teeth. It took about 4 months for my teeth to get better after I stopped.
That could explain the sensitivity to my teeth lately especially when have cold foods my teeth are sensitive too.
I've been brewing and drinking kombucha for about 7 months now
I'm sorry that happened to you! Just a question though, how long were your brew times? Did you reduce the first ferment period at all? Wondering if that would have lessened the effect on you. I have just started making kombucha, I've been researching like crazy! I'm kind of scared now...
I don't brew anymore, but if I did it again, I'd buy a pH meter to measure the levels before drinking it. My understand is that they change quite drastically during the ferment process, going up and down within days/weeks. My usual first ferment period was 7 days, but I have tried shorter periods which seemed to have an increased acidity judging from the teeth sensitivity I would experience after drinking. I blame myself for not learning more before I started out, but not once did I come across someone mentioning the dangers to our teeth when we drink Kombucha.
Have no fear it is still so great for the gut ! And the joint's! I personally ferment from 10 days to a month. Im not gonna let opinion of a man stop me from what i love doing!
I've been drinking kombucha for 10 years now and never ever had any problems with my teeth. Just love the stuff. My kids also drink it for years now... I personally think it's great. But everyone is different and for me it works great! I brew it for 7 -10 days. Depends on the weather
That is great super food, i live zanzibar island we have lot of coconut here, can i ferment coconut water withuot that sturf you add,? cause no where i can buy it
Just consume your coconut they way you have always done. Don't need to change habits from your ancestors
0:51:50 yeah we call it Kalpa Brikkho/ Shree Fol. We use coconut in every Puja(offering to the god)
how to get coconut kefir in the states? what is the best candida cleanse?
Looking for the book mentioned Wild World of Fermentation. No luck finding it. Author?
Didn't you live in Vegas at one point? I swear I used to watch a channel with someone just like you. Great info!
31:34 Such a sic answer
Thank you very much ! I am in Viet Nam !🥰
how do you tell a bad coconut? thanks for this video
Bless u
I don't think i'll ever be a vegan, I've tried. But I love all of your videos and they help make me a lot more healthy. I started drinking kombucha 2-3 times per week now I would like to know if i can find this somewhere near me in ohio. I can't even find regular kefir at the local grocery store (krogers)
I make water kefir, milk kefir and kombucha at home. They are not difficult to make and not expensive. Check out tutorials here on TH-cam. Water kefir grains and milk grains are available from several sources on line. You can also find SCOBY on line too.
21:20 HAHAHA!!! you were taking my mind on a journey then you just said i dont know anyways.. LOL
How can I get this stuff in Washington state? Would it survive a shipment from Maui to here?
what is the website of hawaiian superfoods? ty
Elijah I thoroughly enjoyed your video . Do you have any T shirts to promote this coconut healthy kefir, these can be exported nationwide? Are your men using a machine lift to pick the coconuts ? What are you doing with the coconut straw after you strain the firmer coconut meat , I was thinking it would be good for banana bread muffins . Wish I could eat some of your yummy coconut kefir . In canada I saw a merchant selling coconut yogurt and when you opened the container there was a swirl of a sweeter coconut liquid inside . So you experienced 2 tastes , the tangy coconut and the sweet . All the best in growing your business in Oahu !
oh my god i ate 3 coconut today, this looks so soft i would eat 5 of them
Two inspiring human beings 👌
I live on the Long Island on the east coast can I get these products sent to me?
Did they close this place down?
Can I order their products online or buy at the store?
watch the video
do they have one on Kauai?
Wonder if I can just order Hawaiian coconut juice ship to Oregon so I can make my own?
What`s the option for us that live in the urban area with no chance of getting close fresh coconut from the three
Ferment something else like fruit juice
Jah love John. I wish that he used gloves and other protective gear as he worked on making the Kefir. I also want you to please explain about "live" probiotics. Are they vegan and raw? I don't understand the process. Thanks. Blessed love.
man, where can i get epic stuff like this in NH? lol i wish i was in HI just to get this guy's stuff, sounds epic
Are they closed now? I googled it and it says closed so does yelp
Can I get some Kefir Sutherland? ;) I've always heard it pronounced keh-fear. But I guess it doesn't matter really. Still a great video. I'm getting into vegetable fermentation, so this will make another thing I can do. John Kohler is the man when it comes to raw foods.
Awesome place. Does he ship to the U.S.?
did you watch the video?
I was ready to purchase. Sorry to hear that they do not ship.
wouldnt amber jars for sale be ideal?
So you don't even use Kiefer grains to ferment the coconut creme?
I wish I lived next door!😍👌✌️
I l8ve your sense of humour, lol, thanks a million bro
I LOVE KOMBUCHA !
You mention Oahu, why not the Big Island? Many people here would love your products!
Hey, John. I know my question isn't about coconut. It's about ginger. Do you know if ginger would grow well in North Carolina?
www.perennialsolutions.org/hardy-gingers-for-the-food-forest-understory
they are some they can grow in your climate this site have them all in one specter
good luck
Do you know why they shut down John? seemed like they were really busy and had a great busines. I lived in Maui for 10 years and my mom still lives in Kahului. Thanks for the great work as always💜🙏🏽💜
So this company doesn't exist anymore?
beautiful story of success,,, there is hope for the future with young people like this,, back to Gods source, fresh ,real food, not created in a chemical lab.. Praise God for John,, and for Elijah.... both men called of God to do a great service for humanity. Thank you for sharing
A friend just got me into kefir grains and we've been making kefir milk everyday for over a week now! My children love it! Does anyone know if the kefir grains can also be used in coconut water? Or is that a totally different grain!? I haven't finished the whole video yet! 💚🌱
Yes. but they will not thrive in it so they need to sit in milk. Not sure how often, I've heard they can go without milk for up to a week but I think every second to third ferment in milk would keep the grains healthier. I use canned coconut milk. Would like to know how he keeps the water from separating from the cream? Also coconut milk ferments quicker than milk.
Sarah Smith water grain and milk grains are different.
Can the grains survive and grow without animals milk please? I just received some grains and i'm planning using only coco and soy milk, cheers.
I wonder if sucrose esters of fatty acids will cause problem in my fermentation and harm my milk kefir grains.
As some coconut milks in the market have these ingredients:
Water, Coconut Milk (7%), Calcium Phosphate, Emulsifier (Sucrose Ester of Fatty Acids), Sea Salt, Stabiliser (Gellan Gum), Colour (Carotene), Vitamin D2, Vitamin B12
Just to add to you point about reading the label John, we purchased some Aloe Vera water at Trader Joe's that had sodium benzoate in it. That water tasted like household cleaner, we poured it down the drain.
Robert Johnson check out Stockton Aloe 1, raw Aloe no preservatives, amazing :)
Send it to Florida
does chef Elijah have a TH-cam channel with some raw recipes??😃
Hey John ......I lived in Costa Rica and fell in love with Noni. Drank a cup 3 times a day. My friend down there mother was sent home to die (25 year ago) when her jungle doctor told her to to drink generous amounts of noni and she still going strong. I'm now in Hemet and really miss it (it has to be the real McCoy). Did you check Noni on your Hawaiian trip????
Its not a probiotic drink. Noni is more hype and over priced.
Your content is amazing it's actually always amazing, your very knowledgeable but your video lighting is horrible with all do respect. Your awesome
If you make your own Kombucha, you can definitely ferment it long enough to eliminate the sugar. Businesses can't do that, because most potential customers are accustomed to sweet drinks. If you leave it long enough, your Kombucha will resemble vinegar.
Yup, it will give you a Alcohol buzz... And my symptoms gets worse.
Did not have that problem with milk Kefir and I liked it much more then Kombucha.
Thank you for teaching us about coconut yogurt, what about using class containers instead of mental?
What I don't understand it looks like he still has it on the heat after he put the beneficial bacteria. I thought the heat hurt the bacteria?
No, it activates the culture with the coconut itself. It's kind of like activating yeast for bread. His product is heated but is still raw.
Carol Cumbie its kind of like baking, you change the state, but do not overheat, same as burnt baking if overheated
Carol Cumbie he's only bringing it up to 90-95degrees F which is good for the bacteria not cooking it
It should not be more than mildly warm or you will kill the culture.
Wow, you are banking on TH-cam monitization, I know you as growing your greens, now I see your 106K subs on a OKraw channel. Wow. Superstar from Henderson NV. We lived close to each other for 10 years (I was in Henderson for 10 years, and I moved to KCMO 2 years ago. It wasn't until I moved did I see you on TH-cam. I did see you one day at MT. Charleston. I was collecting pine nuts, and I saw your hands and knew you were doing the same thing. Anyway, take care and good luck, Tom
The jar he uses to ferment is not air tight, so contaminants could get in/out... Otherwise looks great.
Always travel with Activated Charcoal!
Cynthia Turner So instead of beefing your natural resistance to bad bacteria with probiotic foods.... You would rather eat ashes....
You are really handsome ;). Thanks for the informative videos, very enjoyable to learn from.
woah easy with that thing Jon. the food industry goons might come after you again.
