The cuts we ship
Desiccated coconut is sold on cut size, fat content and microbiology. All three cuts come from the same mature nuts, dried within hours of opening.
Fine, 1.0 to 1.6 mm
The most traded cut. Disperses evenly through a batter or a dough and takes up moisture without clumping.
Best for: bakery, confectionery, biscuit fillings, retail packing.
Medium, 1.6 to 2.5 mm
A visible shred that still mixes cleanly. The usual choice when the coconut should be seen as well as tasted.
Best for: macaroons, coated confectionery, cereal and muesli.
Coarse and chips, 2.5 mm and above
Long shreds and flat chips, for topping rather than mixing.
Best for: toppings, granola, snack packs, decoration.
Origin and processing
Coconuts are sourced from Ben Tre and Tra Vinh in the Mekong Delta, dehusked, pared, grated and hot-air dried within hours of opening.
We supply sulphured and unsulphured grades. Each lot ships with a microbiological report covering total plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli and salmonella.
