Organic Desiccated Coconut

Organic desiccated coconut is a healthy and delicious tasting whole food that makes a highly versatile ingredient in raw food cooking and baking. Desiccated coconut is simply the dried raw coconut flesh that has a slightly sweet flavour with a soft texture.

Health Benefits

Coconuts are packed with nutrients, contain high levels of beneficial digestive fibre and are loaded healthy oils to help manage proper cholesterol levels and good blood fats. Desiccated coconut is easy on the digestive system and the nutrients are readily absorbed. It can also help to boost the metabolism, assist the immune system to fight off disease and can improve blood sugar balance. Desiccated coconut also contains some iron, magnesium, B6 and vitamin C and because it is organic, has the added benefit of being chemical free.
