Cocopeat from Vietnam

List

What is cocopeat?

To put it simply, coco peat is coconut sawdust.

When the coconut shell is shredded, it is separated into coconut fiber and coco peat. Coco peat, like other wood sawdusts, is a natural material often used in agriculture and various industries.

Because palm trees mainly live along the coast, their salt concentration is higher than other plants.

Therefore, depending on the purpose, coco peat can be washed with water to remove salts or used as is without washing.
