Both edible and milling copra typically require a maximum moisture content of 5%. This ensures proper storage and prevents spoilage.
Edible copra: Often comes in uniform halves or smaller pieces with a good, finished appearance.
Edible copra: Should be a clean white color, free from blemishes.
Edible copra typically allows for a very low percentage (around 1% or less) of broken, wrinkled, or germinated pieces. Milling copra may allow for a higher percentage of imperfections (around 2% moldy cups)
