Coconut flakes 500g - VIVIO

Coconut flakes are made from the flesh of the (copra) coconut fruit. This tree is typically found in tropical countries, such as some Asian countries and New Zealand. To thrive, it requires not only high temperatures but also high humidity, regular rainfall, and access to sunlight. Interestingly, coconut palms are most commonly found on tropical beaches. They are what we most associate with the paradisiacal image of tourist islands. This tree typically reaches impressive sizes and can grow up to 30 meters tall. The leaves of this tree are also admirable. They are 4 to 6 meters long and about 90 centimeters wide. The most important thing about the coconut palm, however, are its fruits: round nuts that can weigh up to 2.5 kilograms. They are covered in a dark brown, waterproof husk. They also contain a milky coating, which is widely used in both the food and cosmetic industries.
But the tastiest and healthiest part is the inside of the coconut. Coconut water is full of valuable electrolytes, the consumption of which can ensure our well-being even in extreme heat. In addition, the coconut conceals aromatic pulp, from which the popular oil, as well as coconut chips and shavings, are made. It's worth knowing that coconut products are not only delicious but also full of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals valuable for your health. Particular attention should be paid to medium-chain (MCT) fatty acids, which have been receiving special attention in professional circles in the field of diet therapy and healthy nutrition for years. In addition, coconut flakes are a veritable treasure trove of minerals, among which we can distinguish: magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, iron, and calcium. Both shavings and other coconut-based products are an excellent source of B vitamins (including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, and folic acid – necessary for the proper development of the baby in the womb).
Coconut shrimp are small and appear as thin strips. They are characterized by a white or creamy color and a fluffy texture. What sets coconut flakes apart is their unique flavor and aroma, which perfectly complements both sweet desserts and dry dishes.
