Production & Sourcing
Harvesting and Husking: Mature coconuts are harvested from coconut palm trees. The outer husk is removed to reveal the hard, brown coconut shell.
Separating the Meat: The white coconut meat is carefully separated from the brown inner skin (coconut testa) using a knife or specialized tools.
Washing the Meat: The coconut meat is thoroughly washed to remove any impurities or debris.
Toasting: The washed coconut meat is then toasted to achieve the desired flavor and color. The coconut flakes are toasted until they turn a golden brown, creating a rich, nutty flavor.
Shredding: Once the coconut flakes are toasted and cooled, they are finely shredded or grated to achieve the desired medium grade. The shredding process creates small, chewy flakes or shreds of toasted coconut.
And you have your Medium Grade Unsweetened Toasted Desiccated Coconut!
