Coconut Powder usually refers to desiccated coconut: the white flesh of mature coconuts, grated, dried and milled into fine, snow-white particles. It keeps the rich flavour and natural fat of fresh coconut but can be stored for months, making it a key ingredient in bakery, confectionery, Indian sweets and snacks. Defatted coconut flour is also available.
Arizone International supplies Coconut Powder (desiccated coconut) in fine and medium grades, as well as coconut flour, for bakeries, sweet and confectionery makers, food processors, wholesalers and exporters.
How Desiccated Coconut Is Made
Mature coconuts are dehusked and cracked, and the brown skin (testa) is pared off the white kernel. The white meat is washed, grated or shredded, and dried in hot air dryers until the moisture is very low, usually around 3% or less. It is then sieved into grades. The low moisture and high fat content give it a long shelf life when stored properly.
India is among the world's largest coconut producers, with major production in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka and the Philippines are well known for desiccated coconut exports.

Packaging and Storage
Coconut Powder is packed in multi-wall paper bags or cartons with food-grade liners, typically 25 kg. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong odours. Because of its high fat content, it can turn rancid if exposed to heat and air for long periods.
Toasted desiccated coconut is also available on request.
Tips for Buyers and Formulators
Coconut powder is high in fat, so keep it cool and sealed to prevent rancidity. Specify the fat content you need.
