Or maybe the “not” isn’t a typo. Because I was just reading this from the canna site The Story Of Canna Coco. Where it says:
“Big take away is this: while the coco is sterilized pretty thoroughly through UV light, it does not last long and by avoiding heat/ steam sterilization, the particle size remains in place and the particle characteristics remain unaltered. They hold the amount of water they are designed for and salt levels remain in check. All this results in a product that has the correct chemical/ physical profile, the correct age, and decomposition rate. Now it is chemically ‘fixed’ through a conditioning process (buffering) to perform as it must, under the correct growing conditions, to produce quality crops.”
So I guess they don’t heat or steam sterilize it.
