What Is Desiccated Coconut?
Desiccated coconut is produced from fresh coconut meat that has been peeled, washed, finely grated or shredded, and dried under controlled conditions.
The final product retains the natural flavor and nutrients of coconut while offering a much longer shelf life compared to fresh coconut.
Desiccated coconut is available in several forms:
- Fine grade
