- Coconut fiber or coir is a product which is extracted from
the outer shell of the coconut
fruit.
- It is used in a variety of ways worldwide, being especially
popular for rope and matting.
- There are two different types of coconut fiber: white coir
and brown coir. White coconut fiber comes from young coconuts,
while brown coconut fiber comes from more mature
specimens.
- Once extracted from the coconut, the fiber can be spun or
matted. It can also be bleached or dyed, although some
producers prefer to leave the fiber as it is for a more natural
look.
