The date palm, saw palmetto and the coconut palm are examples of palm trees that have been used for food and medicinal purposes throughout the ages. Coconut has long been a mainstay in the human diet in many parts of the world, and its numerous health giving properties are still being discovered. Not only is coconut an incredible superfood, it is a must-have for any health-conscious parent or anyone looking to increase their vitality and energy. Shredded coconut is a recipe necessity!

Health Benefits of Coconut
| Coconuts are an amazing food! Shredded coconut makes a wonderful treat for kids, who enjoy its sweet, creamy taste and crunchy texture. Raw, shredded coconut has a variety of vital health benefits thanks to its good-for-you fats and high fiber.
Some people still mistakenly believe that coconut contains fats that are not good for you. However, the fat that is in coconut is different from most other fats. Most of the fats and oils used today contain long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) which are associated with clogged arteries and obesity. However, coconuts are composed almost entirely of “medium-chain fatty acids” (MCFA), which our body uses to help protect against heart disease, for energy, and to strengthen the immune system among a myriad of other health benefits.
Coconut also contains high amounts of lauric acid and caprilic acid, which boast anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-septic and anti-fungal properties. Shredded coconut has many of the same health properties of coconut oil.

The Sunfood Difference
| Our exotic and delectable shredded coconut comes to us from a sustainable and organic farm in Mexico. After the coconuts are harvested, the coconut “meat” is gently shredded and dried at low temperatures, ensuring high enzymatic and nutritional qualities. |
