Light color ash means that the ash is less. But white ash is not always good and can be bad. Why Is that so? We will explore it further.
White cream, also called white yellow, means he has a yellow ash when it burned. This color comes from many different aspects such as ash content, the filler (tapioca flour), raw material, and so on.
White cream commonly can have larger ash content or also can be from filler which is tapioca flour that has already been stored in an open room for a long time, so the filler become moist.
Or it also can be from the raw coconut material collected from a coconut tree that grows on sand or near sand, such as a coconut tree on the beach, or a coconut tree near the beach.
