Production & Sourcing
Harvesting and Husking: Fresh coconuts are harvested from coconut palm trees. The outer husk is removed to reveal the hard, brown coconut shell.
Removing the Coconut Meat: The white coconut meat is carefully separated from the shell.
Grating: The separated coconut meat is grated into very fine pieces or thin strips. This fine grating helps in achieving the desired texture of the final product.
Drying: The grated coconut is then dried to reduce its moisture content. The goal is to remove most of the moisture without browning or burning the coconut.
Milling or Grinding: The dried coconut is further milled or ground to create a fine, almost powdery texture.
And you have your Fine Grade Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut!
