Our coconut flakes begin as organic coconuts grown in the beautiful, tropical Philippine Islands. The coconut is removed from the shells and washed in pure, filtered water (no chlorine is present). The coconut is then shredded and slowly dehydrated at 98.6° F (37° C). Dehydrating the coconut at such a low temperature preserves the enzymes, vitamins, minerals and life force. The result is shredded, raw coconut that tastes great, has a wonderful texture and contains the health benefits of our raw coconut oil.
Nutritional Benefits:
Our coconut flakes have the same health benefits as our unrefined or “virgin” coconut oil! Virgin coconut oil retains most of the nutrients found in fresh coconut.
