Premium Desiccated Coconut: Exported by HAVIGO

We are HAVIGO, a business that specializes in exporting agricultural products. We have been exporting many Vietnamese agricultural products, including desicatted coconut, at the most competitive price on the market. Let’s explore one of our top-selling products in this post: premium desiccated coconut.

1. Fat content of Desiccated Coconut

Desiccated coconut comes in three main types based on its fat content: low-fat, medium-fat, and high-fat.

• Low-fat desiccated coconut: Low-fat desiccated coconut typically contains around 25 – 35% fat. So, it boasts a drier texture and a subtler coconut flavor compared to the higher-fat ones. This makes it a suitable option for health-conscious consumers who want to enjoy a hint of coconut without the higher richness. Low-fat desiccated coconut can also be a good choice for adding a touch of texture to dishes without overpowering the overall flavor.
• Medium-fat desiccated coconut: While not as common as low-fat and high-fat varieties, medium-fat desiccated coconut is still a good choice. This kind offers a fat content ranging from 40 – 50%. In terms of flavor, it bridges the gap between low-fat and high-fat desiccated coconut. Therefore, it offers a slightly richer texture and flavor than the low-fat option but is not quite as intense as the high-fat one.
• High-fat desiccated coconut: Desiccated coconut with a fat content of above 63% is the high-fat type. This type offers the most intense coconut flavor and the creamiest texture due to the higher coconut oil. As a result, it also has the highest calorie content among the three varieties. High-fat desiccated coconut is ideal for dishes that need a strong coconut flavor, such as coconut macaroons, piña coladas, or topping for curries.

Here’s a table summarizing the key characteristics of each fat content category:

Fat Content	Texture	Flavor Profile	Applications
Low-fat	Drier	Subtler coconut	Healthier option, adding a touch of coconut without overpowering flavor
Medium-fat	Moderately dry	Moderately rich coconut	Offers a middle ground between low and high-fat options
High-fat	Creamiest	Most intense coconut	Ideal for recipes requiring strong coconut flavor and moist texture

2. Premium Fine and Medium Desiccated Coconut

Now, onto the main part! Here are the key differences between fine and medium size desiccated coconut:

Size: This is the most significant difference. Fine coconut boasts a smaller particle size, resembling coarse flour or breadcrumbs. While, medium coconut, on the other hand, features larger, more distinct flakes.

Texture: Fine coconut provides a smoother, almost melt-in-your-mouth texture, while medium coconut offers a delightful chew with a more noticeable presence in your dish.

Applications: Due to their textural variations, these coconut cousins excel in different culinary applications.

• Fine desiccated coconut: Perfect for adding subtle coconut flavor and a smooth texture to baked goods like cookies, cakes, and macaroons. With a powdery texture, it also works wonderfully as a thickener in sauces and soups.

3. Desiccated Coconut Import Countries

Vietnamese desiccated coconut is in a prime position to satisfy the rising demand worldwide. Organic and fair-trade certified ingredients are in greater demand as consumers grow more health-conscious. By incorporating fair trade principles and sustainable farming methods into their operations, Vietnamese producers are increasingly meeting this demand. Furthermore, Vietnam’s potential for sustainable coconut production fits in nicely with the global emphasis on environmental responsibility. 

These countries import a lot of desiccated coconut because it is not produced in Europe. Less than half of all European imports are from the three biggest importers—the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany—import desiccated coconut in a variety of ways. In addition, desiccated coconut is in high demand in Bangladesh and the United States. This product is used to make food ingredients or confections.
