To offer a perfect gift connected with your health, it would be wise to buy some freeze-dried fruits and candies. And if you are sceptical about the nice and sound for your health. In this article, I am going to tell you about my favourite freeze-dried snack - freeze-dried coconut. What is it? And how is it made?

The Intriguing Appeal of Freeze-Dried Coconut

It is thought that the Freeze Dried Coconut is a better snack than regular dried coconut for several reasons. The first reason is that it retains the natural taste of fresh coconut, but that is not all. It is also very nutritious. On the other hand, comparatively, the texture of the Freeze Dried Coconut seems to be a paradox. Since it is quite unusual, many people, particularly including kids, tend to love it very much. How is this possible? Let us take a look at it step by step to see how this weird new and much beloved treat was made.

Selecting the Finest Coconuts

From handpicked premium coconut to high quality freeze dried coconut product obtained after a strict selection process – we do everything to provide you with the finest coconuts with an amazing taste.

Shredding and Preparing the Coconut

Then there’s the issue of sourcing those coconuts: once you have them, shredding them until each bite is the same size helps you get the most out of freeze-drying’s texture-producing capabilities.

Freezing

After being shredded, the coconut is frozen within two minutes of being cut. Freezing is one of my favourite steps in freeze-drying. This is because the freeze-drying process snatches water directly from the solid state of the frozen coconut and seizes most of its natural aroma and nutrients before deciding to let go.

Freeze-Drying

And then, voilà, the sorcery of the freeze-dryer. The already-frozen coconut enters a vacuum chamber, along with a rising field of gentle heat, slowly increasing the ambient chamber temperature. Ice in the coconut shreds sublimes into water vapour, leaving behind hair-trigger hyperarid, room-temperature coconut flakes — almost as crunchy as granola; and as cold, dry and weightless as… Well, as coconut that has been freeze-dried.

Packaging

Then they’re packaged to stay crisp and fresh. It needs no preservatives because I freeze-dry the little coconuts.

The DIY Experience

Brave DIYers, however, with an adventurous spirit can attempt a simplified form of freeze-drying at home. Here is how we did it. 1. Remove the fruit from the husk. 2. Cut the meat into thin slices. 3. Arrange the slices on a plate or drying rack. Top with lychees for decoration. 4. Lower the plate into the freezer. Make sure it’s not touching the walls so that air can circulate on all sides. 5. After 24 hours, check if the slices are frozen. If there is frost on the flatware above them, then they are ready to be transferred. 6. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking tray (or particle board, in our case) and place in the freezer. A thin layer should be exposed to the air. 7. After four or five days, the slices should be ready. 8. Store the slices in a freezer bag within the freezer or under a vacuum machine. 9. Tap the bag gently to remove the air. 10. Seal the bag and pierce it continuously with a sewing machine needle.

Step 1: Get Fresh Coconuts

Firstly, I’ll get some coconuts from local market or grocery store. I will select those coconuts that are heavy and not crack coastal_wars_vs_naval_supremacy, billionaire_chess, river_view.

Step 2: Extract the Coconut Meat

Crack the coconuts open and remove the meat. Shred on a coconut grater or use a sharp knife for even fine shreds.

Step 3: Freeze

Spread the shredded coconut over a baking sheet and put the pan in the freezer. Let freeze for several hours (or overnight), until the coconut is rock-hard.

Step 4: Freeze-Dry

Then when they are dried, take the shreds out of the freezer and put them into a freeze-drying machine or a dehydrator. Home freeze-drying coconut will vary depending on the machine you use, so check the product’s instructions for more details. This could take a while, up to several hours and more than a day.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Now the coconut bygone thanks to freeze-drying, ready to enjoy as a nice and healthy snack in crunchy mode. You can eat it, associated with the yoghurt, flippant with its salads or sprinkled in your desserts.
