Coconut Powder

Coconut powder is produced by grinding the dried flesh of the coconut fruit and is one of the most widely used and most aromatic types of nut flour around the world. This product has a soft, fluffy texture and fully preserves the warm, sweet aroma and flavor of coconut. Coconut powder is rich in fiber, healthy fats (mainly medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs), manganese, selenium, copper, iron, and antioxidants, making it a true superfood.
