SUPERFOOD INGREDIENTS coconut harvesting and production
The Tropical Superfood
This nutrient dense food is renowned for its great taste and numerous health benefits, but its versatility is perhaps what makes it such an important superfood. Virtually every part of the coconut has some practical application. Coconut Oil and Coconut milk can be extracted from the flesh, and are commonly used in cooking, as well as in cosmetic products. Coconut Water, which can be extracted and dried to form a powder, is increasingly being recognised for its rehydrating benefits. Coconut sugar, extracted from the flower nectar, has also gained much interest from the food industry as a natural sugar alternative.
Often associated with tropical beaches, the coconut (Cocos nucifera) is widely grown throughout the tropics, where it has long played an important role as a food source. With such a wide geographical spread it is no surprise that our range of coconut products come from places as far-flung as Indonesia, Vietnam and Brazil.
The Diversity of the Coconut
Superfood Ingredients takes advantage of the coconut’s versatility, providing a range of nutritious products. Our Organic Freeze Dried Coconut Water Powder is soluble and ideal for beverage applications. The coconuts are harvested in Brazil whilst still green, when the nutrient content of the water is highest and taste most flavoursome. Superfood Ingredient’s Coconut Milk Powder, available in high or low fat varieties, is made from organic coconuts and is commonly used Asian inspired cuisine, although it can also be used in a range of baked goods and ice cream.
