Organic Shredded Coconut, 250g

Delve into the world of coconuts, slender white strips from the esteemed coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), celebrated for their fresh and sweet taste. This exotic fruit, thriving in tropical climates, hails originally from Malaysia and holds spiritual significance, revered by Hindus as the purest offering to the gods. Although first documented by Marco Polo in the 14th century, it took an additional 200 years for the Western world to truly embrace this tropical treasure. The name “coconut” is derived from the Italian word “cocho,” meaning hull, reflecting its unique, protective exterior. As a member of the Arecaceae (palm) family, the coconut tree is now a familiar sight in tropical regions worldwide.
