Harvesting and Husking: Mature organic coconuts are harvested from coconut palm trees. The outer husk is removed to reveal the hard, brown coconut shell.
Separating the Meat: The white organic coconut meat is carefully separated from the brown inner skin.
Washing the Meat: The organic coconut meat is thoroughly washed to remove any impurities or debris.
Drying: The washed organic coconut meat is dried to reduce its moisture content. The goal is to remove enough moisture to ensure a longer shelf life for the final product.
Sweetening: After the coconut meat is adequately dried, it is then sweetened. The sweeteners coat the coconut flakes, adding a delightful sweetness to the final product.
Toasting: Once the coconut flakes are dried and sweetened, they are toasted to achieve the desired toasty flavor profile. The toasting process involves subjecting the sweetened coconut to controlled heat, which gives it a rich and nutty aroma while turning the coconut flakes into a golden-brown color.
Shredding: After toasting, the sweetened toasted coconut is finely shredded or grated to achieve the desired fine grade.
And you have your Organic Fine-Grade Sweetened Toasted Desiccated Coconut!
