How Desiccated Coconut is Produced
Desiccated coconut is produced from newly harvested coconuts, brought to the factory within 48 hours after harvest. The coconut is de-shelled, the brown testa of the meat is removed, and then turned into fine granules. The granules are then pasteurized, and pass through a mechanical continuous belt dryer for moisture reduction at a controlled temperature. The product then passes through a series of magnets and metal detectors before it is finally packed

Desiccated coconut can last long until around six (6) to eight (8) months as long as it is properly and well packed and stored in cool, dry with consistent temperature it will achieve its expected shelf life. Desiccated coconut will not thrive if it is placed and exposed in heat.

If you want to make its shelf life stay for a longer time, make sure to airtight its packaging and keep it in a freezer, your goal to prolong its shelf life for more than 8 months will be possible. Its freshness will remain and the fresh coconut aroma will also be there. To determine if it is already spoiled, its texture has excessive or develops hardness and sagginess.
