Product Description
Ingredients: coconut
The coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, which can grow as tall as thirty meters. The origin of the plant is not entirely clear, but it likely originated in Southeast Asia, from where coconut palms capable of sprouting were carried by the sea to more distant, tropical climates, and human hands also played a big role in its spread. Coconut chips are made from the white flesh of the coconut.
Significance, effects: Unlike most fruit, coconut is primarily made up of fats rather than carbohydrates. Its fatty acid composition mainly consists of saturated fatty acids, but most of these are so-called medium-chain fatty acids. These are easily digestible, providing quick energy and do not stimulate the gallbladder. Coconuts contain significant amounts of fiber, which aids digestion, and its magnesium content is noteworthy among minerals. Additionally, they provide iron and calcium, although their vitamin content is not particularly significant.
Usage:
Coconut flakes can be primarily used for desserts, pastries. You can also mix them into muesli, porridge, or use them in the preparation of Far East dishes.
