Desiccated Coconut
Desiccated coconut is finely shredded or flaked dried coconut meat. This versatile ingredient adds a touch of sweetness and tropical flavor to baking, desserts, and curries. Desiccated coconut comes in various textures, from coarse to shredded, to suit different culinary needs.
Coconut Semi-husked / Dehusked
This is the coconut after the outer brown husk has been partially or completely removed. The white inner shell remains intact, protecting the coconut meat and water inside. Semi-husked coconuts are perfect for those who want to enjoy fresh coconut water or break open the nut for the fresh meat.
Coconut Shells
The hard outer shell of the coconut has a surprising number of uses. Artisans craft beautiful bowls, cups, and decorative items from coconut shells. They can also be crushed and used as a sustainable alternative for charcoal or mulch in gardening.
Coconut Husks
The fibrous outer husk of the coconut, also called coir, is a valuable material. Coir can be processed into strong ropes, brushes, and mats. It's also used as a natural and eco-friendly growing medium in horticulture.
Other Coconut-Based Products
The versatility of coconut extends beyond the obvious. Coconut milk and cream are popular non-dairy alternatives. Coconut oil, extracted from the dried kernel, has a variety of culinary and beauty uses. Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener with a subtle caramel flavor.
