What is ground coconut?

Coconut ground comes from the stone fruit of the coconut palm. A stone fruit is a fruit with a hard kernel in its core. Just like, for example, cherries and peaches, the coconut belongs to this category as well. A coconut consists of four layers: the coconut fibre, the skin, the flesh and inside the coconut milk or coconut water. The coconut fibre is the firm, green shell that is removed after harvesting. This is how the 'hairy' wooden nut (the skin) with the delicious flesh appears on the inside. The white flesh is dried (called copra) and ground.

Is coconut ground healthy?

When we think of palm trees and coconut, we think of pearly white beaches, clear blue sea and warm sun. Coconut is an important part of the diet in these kinds of areas. Ground coconut is high in fibre but also rich in oil. Most of it is saturated. It therefore contains a lot of calories but is easily digestible. It is also an important source of iron and it contains antioxidants. Used in moderation, coconut ground fits into a healthy diet.
