Coconut

Native to tropical climes, this rich and high yielding fruit is highly prized for its flesh and milk. Ever since it was first brought to Europe, it has been used, among other things, in a number of well-studied recipes.

The coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm, a particular species of palm ( Cocos nucifera ) that thrives in the tropics. It was the Spanish and the Portuguese who first discovered this exquisite fruit in the Philippines and then brought it to Europe. Coconut flakes are made from the white flesh found inside the mature seeds, which are opened, peeled and washed. This pulp is ground into flakes, treated with water, high temperature vapour and finally dried and sieved. Juicing the flesh gives you coconut milk which is then pasteurised and, if we want it powdered, dried. The delicious white coconut flesh and its famous "milk" have long been loved by those who use this precious ingredient to make cakes and biscuits.

The Philippines provides the fruit from which we make all our coconut flakes and some of our coconut milk, while the remainder of our coconut milk comes from Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Philippines.
