✦ High in fibre
✦ High in saturated fat
✦ Source of manganese
✦ Low in sugar
Fresh coconut flesh is the white meat of the mature coconut, high in saturated fat and fibre but low in sugar. It is more of a fat source than a typical fruit.
🍳
Preparation note
Eat fresh and raw to retain the most fibre and minerals; drying or sweetening greatly changes the nutritional profile.
