Makapuno is type of coconut with creamy, soft, and thick meat that almost fills the entire shell of the coconut fruit. A versatile product, its meat is commonly used for making ice cream and an ingredient for halo-halo, cake, bread and pastry, and other desserts.

                    [Summary] => Makapuno, a form of coconut with soft meat, is much sought after for its versatile role in the preparation of dessert.  It is characterized by the absence of the liquid endosperm (coconut water) which is replaced by a dense viscous fluid or solid soft meat (hence the name makapuno).


Thailand has its own variety of makapuno.  The soft meat comes in layers dispersed in the viscous endosperm.  The denser Philippine makapuno is preferred by the Thais for dessert making.

"The truth is that only a few have the capacity to come up with the real thing. The rest or the regular stuff found in supermarket or grocery shelves are makapuno strands mixed with regular coconut meat strands," says Bernardo "Jojo" Mitra, whose company Puro Makapuno Inc. (MPI) is producing what he says is real makapuno.
