Black entrepreneur Gregory Lowe II of New York City founded 100 Coconuts in 2018 after learning about the numerous health advantages of coconut water. After that, he was the first and only Black owner of a coconut water company.

Numerous elements found in coconut water have been shown to enhance heart health, reduce blood sugar, avoid kidney stones, and increase hydration. Lowe became interested in coconut water because of its natural health advantages, but the kinds already on the market don't suit his preferences.

At that point, Lowe II had the idea of developing a line of coconut water that would still have the same health advantages without losing flavour. Finally, in Asia, he found the solution.

"To source the best-tasting, naturally sweeter coconuts, I had to travel all the way to the Mekong Delta province of the Ben Tre region of Vietnam, through Ho Chi Minh and into the jungles where the best coconuts are found," Lowe II told Travel Noire.

"Lots of research was done before to make this an efficient process. Currently, Ben Tre has more than 200,000 families growing coconuts, accounting for about two-thirds of the total number of households in the province. Therefore, coconut groves can be found everywhere."
