Coconut ±500g

502150

The ultimate exotic ingredient for adding a rich, creamy texture and an authentic milky flavour to your sweet and savoury creations, as well as your bar drinks. Product description: The coconut, selected by Le Delas for the density of its flesh and its high water content, is presented in its raw form with its protective woody shell. This exotic fruit, weighing an average of 500 g, guarantees optimal freshness and a flavour far more intense than dried or processed versions. The white, crunchy flesh, known as the kernel, offers a rich and sweet flavour profile, whilst the coconut water at the centre provides a refreshing note that is invaluable for quick preparations. Available at the Fruit & Vegetable Workshop, it is the ideal raw ingredient for chefs wishing to process the produce themselves to create a unique culinary signature. Professional uses, preparation and storage: This product offers a wide range of possibilities for processing in the laboratory or kitchen: ► Pastries and Desserts: The flesh can be freshly grated to garnish desserts, incorporated into coconut macaroons or infused into creams to make ice creams and sorbets with an authentic flavour. ► Exotic Cuisine: Shaved into flakes or blended to make homemade coconut milk, it enhances fish curries, coconut milk-based poultry dishes or Tahitian-style sea bream tartare. ► Mixology: Coconut water is a premium base for refreshing cocktails, whilst the freshly grated flesh serves as a garnish or base for artisanal syrups. ► Preparation: To open, pierce one of the three ‘eyes' at the base to drain the coconut water. Then tap the shell with the back of a heavy knife to split it open. The thin brown skin can be removed with a vegetable peeler to leave only the pure white flesh. ► Storage: Store at room temperature in a dry place until opened. Once the flesh has been removed, it should be kept in the fridge at between +2°C and +4°C, ideally in a container of cold water, and consumed quickly to prevent the fats from going rancid.
