Production & Sourcing
Coconut Flesh Extraction: The first step involves removing the white flesh from mature coconuts. The coconuts are cracked open, and the flesh is separated from the hard shell. The white flesh, also known as coconut meat, is then collected.
Coconut Meat Slicing: The collected coconut meat is thinly sliced or shredded into small pieces using specialized equipment. This slicing process creates thin, flat pieces that resemble chips or flakes.
Drying: The sliced coconut meat is then dried to remove moisture. The drying process helps preserve the coconut chips, extend their shelf life, and enhance their crisp texture.
And you have your Unsweetened Coconut Chips!
