Desiccated Coconut

The Green whole matured coconuts are first plucked manually from the coconut tree in the producing area of Malaysia.

The husks of the nuts is then removed by the farmers leaving behind only the internal nut with its hard shell.

The husks which are removed are compressed and used in the manufacture of cussions for the furniture industry.

The hard is then cracked and the water removed.

The water is canned or packed and sold as coconut water.

This hard shell is chipped and removed from the kernel.

The hard shell shell is either grinded to coconut shell powder or coconut shell charcoal (activated carbon).

The next step is the removal of the dark skin which is also a usefull item in the producion of coconut oil with high FFA.

This leaves behind only the white meat.

The white meat is washed twice once with cold water sterilized under hygenic methods and then with hot water under hygenic methods.

This sterilized kernel is then sent to the cracker for disintegration and then to the dryer.

The product is then desiccated coconut.

The desiccated coconut is cut to sizes and goes to the sieving machine to separate it for the different sizes and grading.

The ready desiccated coconut is then packed in inner polyliner with outer 4 ply kraft paper bags for shipping and delivery locally or the international export market.
