Sea Coconut Slice (Lodoicea Maldivica)

Sea Coconut Slice (Lodoicea maldivica), also known as Double Coconut or Coco de Mer, is a rare, exotic botanical valued for its mildly sweet, cooling, and moistening properties. Sliced from the flesh of the largest seed in the plant kingdom, these thick, ivory-white pieces are traditionally used in Southeast Asian and Chinese herbal traditions to support lung health, soothe dryness, and promote overall vitality.

In herbal practices, Sea Coconut is especially prized for its ability to moisten the lungs, ease dry cough, and nourish yin, making it ideal for those experiencing heat-induced dryness or persistent throat irritation. It is often used in cooling soups, herbal brews, or sweet tonics, especially during hot weather or times of dryness and fatigue.

When simmered, Sea Coconut Slices soften and infuse into a light, slightly sweet and milky broth, often paired with ingredients like snow fungus, lotus seeds, goji berries, and Chinese almonds in dessert soups (tong sui) or restorative tonics.

Each batch of Sea Coconut Slice (Lodoicea maldivica) is carefully cut and dried to maintain its natural texture, clean aroma, and nourishing quality. Whether used in refreshing herbal drinks, lung-supporting decoctions, or traditional soups, Sea Coconut offers a luxurious and gentle way to cool internal heat, replenish fluids, and restore balance.
