Desiccated Coconut  -  Organic Certified

Desiccated coconut is produced from fresh coconuts and is available in different cuts depending on
how it is processed.  Desiccated  coconut  is  the  shredded  white  meat of  the coconut from which
the moisture has been extracted.  It is available either as  Macaroon or Fine,  Medium,  Fancy  Shred,
Flakes, and  Chips.  It is also available either as Toasted or as Toasted Sweetened.

Desiccated coconut in  all  forms is  suitable for both sweet and savory dishes, but is used mainly in
cakes,  biscuits, and as  chocolate  filling.  The longer strands like the Fancy Shred or the Flakes are
usually used for garnishing and decorating.

It  is  produced  from newly harvested  coconuts  and  brought  to  the  factory  within  48 hours.  The
coconut is  de-shelled,  the brown testa of the meat is  removed, then  granulated into  fine granules,
then pasteurized,  and  passed through a  mechanical continuous  belt drier  to reduce the  moisture
of  the  coconut  meat at a controlled temperature  and then passes  through a  series  magnets and
metal  detectors and packed. All our products are  analyzed in  composite samples of every 10 bags
for physico and microbiological analysis before it is approved for shipment.

Our plant is HACCP Certified and our product is Organic and Kosher Certified.
