When we open a common coconut, we can taste its pulp. From the pulp, we can obtain the coconut chips, with no added sugars, great to add to muesli or yogurt, or to enrich biscuits, cakes and recipes.

Through the grounding of the dry pulp, we obtain the coconut flour, with its persistent flavor, great to prepare cakes and biscuits, or to thicken sauces and custards. We can also use it to prepare a fresh drink, melting a tablespoon of flour in a glass of water. Packed in a practical closable bag, it’s gluten free guaranteed and high in protein and fiber.

From the younger coconuts, we can obtain the coconut water, a completely natural drink, refreshing and high in minerals. The one Probios offers comes from the “King” coconut variety, and has a pale orange color, it is great as a refreshing drink or as an ingredient for smoothies, cocktails and exotic recipes.
