Organic Young Coconut Powder is Lyophilized (freeze-dried), Young Coconut Flesh.
It is so much easier to get the benefits of Young Coconut flesh by adding our lyophilized Coconut Milk powder to any liquid than it is to crack open young coconuts and scrape out the flesh and blend with the water... and the health benefits are fabulous.
We used to spend quite a bit of time each day pursuing the delicious taste and wonderful health benefits of Young Coconut Milk. We drink it daily. We had to purchase the young coconuts, refrigerate them, cut them open, pour out the liquid, scrape the white flesh out, blend the liquid and coconut flesh (in a Vitamix) for about 5 minutes... and then clean up the mess. Now, the process is so simple. We just add a scoop of Young Coconut Powder to whatever liquid we're preparing, blend for 10 seconds, and enjoy!
When water is removed from fresh foods without using heat (heat would damage the delicate food nutrients), the resulting food Powder is much more powerful (gram for gram) than the original food — because it is more concentrated. That is why you'll get more nutrition from one bag of Young Coconut Powder than if you ate dozens of Young Coconuts... and lots less expensive and time-consuming.
