Desiccated Coconut: a short introduction

Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm tree. Coconuts are thought to have originated in the Indo-Malaya region. Coconuts are considered to be one of the most important crops of the tropics due to its tasty flesh, which is high in fat and can be dried or eaten fresh, as well as its liquid, which is used in a wide range of beverages. Desiccated coconut is simply coconut meat that has been grated and dried.

NUTRITIONAL FACTS

Desiccated coconut belongs to the dried fruit family and often considered a “superfood” due to its beneficial properties. It is found in various forms: fresh, dried, flour and oil. In addition to its sweet flavor, it is also rich in valuable nutrients. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, natural fiber and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT).
