Ubergreen Organic’s Desiccated coconut is rich in healthy saturated fats with no cholesterol and is also a good source of dietary fiber. Lauric acid, the major fatty acid from the fat of the coconut, has been recognized for its unique properties in food use, which are related to its antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal functions. Also, recently published research has shown that natural coconut fat in the diet leads to a normalization of body lipids, protects against alcohol damage to the liver, and improves the immune system’s anti-inflammatory response. Dessicated Coconut contains dietary fiber which passes through the digestive tract without being broken down or absorbed and is passed out of the body. Instead of contributing to health problems like starch and sugar, fiber promotes good health. Coconut is a natural low – carb, high – fiber food ideally suited for low carbohydrate diets. It is one of the world’s best vegan, low carb food and its gluten free too. Ubergreen Organic’s Desiccated Coconut Powder is ideal for use as fillers, toppings, and as ingredients, especially in the baking of biscuits, snack bars, cakes, cookies and so on. It is also regularly used as part of Indian, South East Asian and South American Cuisine.
