Coconut
From grove to product
What is coconut?
Coconut is rarely a single ingredient. One nut gives you a whole family of products: the water inside; the white flesh, which becomes milk, cream, powder, and desiccated coconut; and the oil pressed from that same flesh, which can be further refined into MCT.
Ours are grown in Sri Lanka, on farms we’ve worked with for years. Coconut palms take five to seven years to bear fruit and crop year-round, so good supply depends on long-term relationships with the people who tend them. The nuts are harvested by hand, and we can trace every ingredient back to its origin.
One nut. A whole portfolio.
Why use coconut?
Few ingredients work across so many categories. Coconut milk and cream bring richness and body to curries, sauces, dairy-free desserts and ready meals; milk powder and water powder do the same in dry mixes and beverages; desiccated coconut and chips add texture to bakery, confectionery and snacks; and coconut MCT oil delivers fast, clean energy to sports and functional nutrition products.
It’s also a label consumers already trust: plant-based, naturally dairy-free and, in the case of MCT, 100% coconut-derived with no palm. With organic, non-GMO, Halal, and Kosher options available, and FSSC 22000- and BRCGS-certified production behind them, our coconut ingredients are as easy to specify as they are to use.

Where it begins
The process of sourcing coconut.
Good coconut starts with good growers. We source from Sri Lanka, where generations of farming knowledge, a tropical climate and careful hand-harvesting produce consistently high-quality nuts.
Our long-term relationships with those farms mean fewer hands between grove and gate, giving you an ingredient that’s fully traceable, ethically harvested and competitively priced without cutting corners.
Grow
Coconut starts in the grove. Palms are grown on Sri Lankan farms we’ve partnered with for years, in the warm, humid conditions where they thrive.
Supply
Every batch is quality checked and documented before it’s supplied to customers, ready to use in their products.
Harvest
Harvested by hand year-round. Skilled workers pick mature nuts when they’re ready, rather than machinery, keeping both the fruit and the trees in good condition.
Process
The nut is separated into its parts: water, flesh and oil. Each is processed into the required format in certified facilities that protect its natural character.
