Desiccated or Finely Shredded coconut comes from the flesh sourced from the inside of a coconut. It is then dried and finely shredded almost to a meal or flour consistency, but not quite.
This product contains NO added preservatives, colours, flavours, no anti-caking agents and is non-GMO.
With more body than shredded or desiccated coconut, these coconut flakes are chewy and retain all their natural flavour and aroma. Coconut flakes are a convenient and versatile pantry item. They can be added to your breakfast, smoothies, cakes, bliss balls, desserts, chia puddings and so much more.
Did you know that a coconut is considered a fruit, not a nut and originates from palm trees?

Coconut shreds are considered a wholefood as the oil and flesh are not separated.
Raw coconut flesh is a good source of fibre and supplies a high amount of fat, mainly saturated fat with high levels of mono-unsaturates and essential fatty acids or lauric acid.
They are also a great source of manganese, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and magnesium.
