# Innovation at _Lionheart_

What Makes Us Different

## Innovation at _Every Step_

From the palms we plant to the products on the shelf, these are the ideas that set Lionheart apart.

### Fully Integrated Sap-to-Shelf Model

Lionheart is the world’s only fully integrated coconut flower sap producer, covering every step from farm and extraction to processing and market.

### Coconut Flower Sap as the Raw Material

Coconut flower sap gives a 60x higher Brix-adjusted yield than coconut water: more sugars and nutrients in every liter harvested. That is why our beverages need no added sugar and less processing.

### Regenerative Farming at Scale

We operate more than 3,500 hectares under a Joint Venture Agreement with the DENR, with 600,000+ palms planted across 2,000 hectares. All are hybrid or dwarf varieties, shorter and easier to tap, with a productive life of about 50 years.

### Hybrid Nucleus Estate Model

Our own farms give us cost control. Partner farms give us the flexibility to scale supply up or down by up to 200,000 palms, with shorter lead times.

### Freshness-Driven Processing

Sap reaches processing within 48 hours of harvest. Our beverages use only fresh sap, while our aminos can be made from syrup. None of our products contain preservatives.

### Award-Winning Innovative Products

The Power of SLOW beverages and CÓCOES Coconut Aminos Teriyaki and Crema Balsamico have been recognized for innovation. [See our awards](/pages/awards-recognitions).

## From flower to finished product, we innovate around _one raw material_

Working with one raw material lets us go deep: into how we farm the palms, how we process sap within hours of tapping, and what we make from it.

Our Product Development team, formed in 2018, develops new coconut flower sap products and works with partners on their own.

## Delivering Value _Through Innovation_

What one raw material, studied closely, makes possible.

Farm

### Bio-Organic Inputs Made On Site

Our Bio Yield & Bio Defense Department, set up in 2017, led to full-scale production of our own bio-organic inputs from 2018.

Farm

### Regenerative Organic Farming

We follow regenerative organic farming methods and use no synthetic chemicals, with soil health as the first priority.

Factory

### Farm and Factory as One Operation

Our factory sits next to the farm and runs 24 hours a day, so sap is processed within hours of tapping.

Quality

### Our Own Laboratory

We built our own lab instead of outsourcing, so quality checks happen at every stage, from fresh sap to finished product.

Products

### Sap Beverages

R&D on coconut flower sap beverages, completed in 2023, became The Power of SLOW, launched internationally at Expo West 2026.

Data

### AI in Harvest Planning

We use AI tools to support our harvest planning across a farm with more than 600,000 palms.

## From Palm _to Pallet_

Our capabilities, under one roof next to the farm.

### Processing

Classification, filtration, pasteurization and evaporation, matched to our daily sap harvest.

### Quality Lab

In-house laboratory monitoring quality, safety and consistency at every stage.
