“The nutritional power of coconuts is far underrated”
Not only do coconuts have a high nutritional value but has a lot of byproducts such as massage oil, cooking oil, skin moisturizer, base ingredients for organic cosmetics, stable carrier oil for other dietary supplements, etc.
Coconut at a glance
At a stage of about 6 months a coconut can be used for drinking purposes. These particular coconuts are still young and contain only water. At about 7 months old a coconut will start to grow a thin layer of meat, the so called jelly meat. From that point a coconut will get sweeter as it ripens and the jelly meat will get thicker. As a coconut keeps on maturing, the meet continues to grow thicker. While the content of the meat increases, the content of the water decreases. Once a coconut gets to about 10 months, it is no longer filled with the same amount of water as it was at 6 months old. At the point it reaches a maturity level of about 12 months, the color will change from green or yellow to brown and it will fall from the tree naturally. At this stage a coconut has matured fully and contains a very high fat content of the white meat.

Our products
Brown coconuts
Brown coconuts in contrary to young coconuts have very little content of water. The water inside at this point is not so sweet. At this stage the coconut is used for its thick layer of white meat. The lighter in weight the coconut gets the less water it contains, thus the richer the fat content. This thick meat is processed into coconut oil, cooking oil, desiccated coconut, etc. or can be eaten as it contains important minerals such as manganese, copper, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron.

Drinkable coconuts
For drinking purposes, coconuts are picked from the trees when they are still young. Young coconuts contains more water since the water of the coconut is replaced by the white meat as the coconut matures. The nutritious water contains a lot of minerals and vitamins. Many, however, confuse coconut milk with coconut water. Coconut milk is made from the white meat of the coconut and coconut water is the clear liquid inside the fruit. The liquid inside will be the sweetest when the coconut is around 7 months old. At this stage it contains the perfect balance of nutrients.
