Desiccated coconut is made from mature coconut kernel that is processed, dried, and sized into different particle grades for food manufacturing.
At SMN, buyers can select the product according to two key requirements:
Fat content – High Fat or Low Fat
Particle size – Fine or Medium
This gives importers, distributors, and food manufacturers four product options to match different formulations, textures, and production requirements.
| Product | Grade | Fat Content | Moisture | Typical Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Fat Desiccated Coconut | Fine | 65 ± 5% | Max. 2.7% | Fine texture, rich coconut character |
| High Fat Desiccated Coconut | Medium | 65 ± 5% | Max. 2.7% | Medium texture, versatile food applications |
| Low Fat Desiccated Coconut | Fine | 42–52% | Max. 3% | Reduced-fat alternative with finer particle size |
| Low Fat Desiccated Coconut | Medium | 42–52% | Max. 3% | Reduced-fat alternative with medium particle size |
Final specifications are confirmed against the applicable product specification and Certificate of Analysis (COA) before shipment.
Not every food manufacturer needs the same coconut profile.
A higher-fat option for formulations where richer coconut character, flavor, and mouthfeel are important.
Commonly considered for: bakery, confectionery, chocolate, desserts, and coconut-rich products.
A lower-fat option for formulations where a reduced fat contribution is preferred while retaining coconut as an ingredient.
Commonly considered for: cereals, snacks, dry blends, bakery, and other food formulations.
The most important purchasing criteria are not simply “high fat” or “low fat.” Buyers should evaluate fat content, particle size, moisture, FFA, color, microbiological requirements, packaging, and destination-specific requirements before approving a supplier.
The right particle size depends on how the ingredient will be used in your finished product.
Choose Fine when you need:
Choose Medium when you need:
The Codex standard for desiccated coconut also recognizes sizing categories including Fine and Medium based on particle-size distribution, making it important for buyers to specify both the fat level and cut size when comparing suppliers.
A finer particle size designed for applications requiring a smoother and more uniform coconut texture.
Typical applications:
Key specification:
A medium particle size offering a more pronounced coconut texture while retaining the rich characteristics of high-fat coconut.
Typical applications:
Key specification:
The finer grade is suitable for formulations where a more uniform and subtle coconut texture is preferred.
Typical applications:
Key specification:
The medium grade provides a more visible coconut texture while offering a lower-fat profile than the High Fat range.
Typical applications:
Key specification:

Please read the following general terms and conditions. Some special requirements can be discussed upon mutual agreement.
We focus on matching the product to the buyer’s actual specification rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product.
Choose from four combinations:
High Fat Fine
High Fat Medium
Low Fat Fine
Low Fat Medium
We coordinate product specifications, packaging, shipment requirements, and commercial documentation according to the order and destination.
Particle size, packaging, shipment quantity, and other commercial requirements can be discussed before order confirmation.
Our team works directly with importers, distributors, traders, and food manufacturers to simplify sourcing and quotation.

To receive a more accurate quotation, please provide:
1. Product: High Fat or Low Fat
2. Grade: Fine or Medium
3. Quantity: Metric Tons
4. Destination: Port / Country
5. Incoterm: FOB, CIF, or other preferred term
6. Packaging: Standard or custom requirement
7. Technical Requirements: COA, microbiological limits, SO₂, certifications, or other specifications if required
The more complete the specification, the faster we can match your requirement to an available supply program.
