Low fat desiccated coconut powder is the byproduct of our virgin coconut oil.  Coconut meat, produced from fresh coconuts, is processed through a milk extractor, which separates the virgin coconut oil from the coconut milk and yields desiccated coconut powder as a byproduct. This powder is then put into the oven for the drying process, and as a result, the fully dried desiccated coconut powder is produced. Due to the removal of the oil, the fat content is lower in the desiccated coconut powder, making it lower in calories. Low-fat desiccated coconut powder typically contains a significantly lower percentage of fat compared to regular coconut powder, which retains a higher fat content.
