Collection: Z Ghany s křupkou: Kokosové lupínky

Young coconut palms bear their first fruits after 4 to 8 years. Once the round tropical treasures are ripe, they literally drop and wait on the ground until diligent hands collect them. While it may sound simple, this harvest is no easy feat. Farmers often have to climb steep slopes or fight through dense undergrowth to find the precious fruits, as the groves are part of the natural landscape. Here, cultivation and sustainability intertwine in a fruitful way.

Soft Shell Over Hard Core

Freshly harvested, coconuts aren't as brown as we know them. They have a green, still relatively soft shell surrounding the hard nut core. This changes, however, when the nuts arrive at their next station for "dehusking". First, the soft green shell is removed, which is crucial to get to the hard brown nut and its valuable white interior. After a careful quality check and a cleaning process, where each nut is cleaned by mechanical brushes and washed in a water bath, it's ready for the next stage.
