How It's Made: To make The Coconut Cooperative’s bulk organic coconut flour, handpicked coconuts from the Coconut Triangle in Colombo are delivered to plants in the outskirts of Colombo. Field agents inspect the delivered coconuts for imperfections and those that do not meet quality standards are removed. Workers cleave or use a mechanized grinder to remove the husk until only the kernel and brown paring are left. A heavy duty peeler removes the brown paring. The white nut is cracked open and any foreign material is washed away. The nuts travel through a conveyor belt and are shredded through a cutting machine, and immediately oven dried to remove moisture. The shreds go through a wet-mill, where the coconut milk and oil is expelled. The remaining meat is compressed into small, tube shaped “oil-cakes.” The oil-cakes are ground into a fine powder, and workers using food grade gloves visually scan the product and remove remaining imperfections. Volt magnets and metal detectors remove any metal contaminants, and the final product is a soft, powdered, creamy gluten free white flour, perfect for healthy baking.
