Harvesting and Husking: Mature coconuts are harvested from coconut palm trees. The outer husk is removed to reveal the hard, brown coconut shell.
Separating the Meat: The white coconut meat is carefully separated from the brown inner skin.
Washing the Meat: The coconut meat is thoroughly washed to remove any impurities or debris.
Drying: The washed 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 with natural sweeteners. The sweeteners coat the coconut flakes, adding a delightful sweetness to the final product.
Shredding: Once the coconut flakes are dried and sweetened, they are finely shredded or grated to achieve the desired medium grade.
And you have your Medium Grade Sweetened Desiccated Coconut!
