Desiccated Coconut
Desiccated Coconut is finely grated, dried coconut flesh with most of its moisture removed, making it a shelf-stable and versatile ingredient. It is commonly used in baking, cooking, and as a topping for desserts like cakes, cookies, and energy bars, as well as in savory dishes and curries. With a moisture content of about 3-5%, desiccated coconut retains the flavor of fresh coconut but is easier to store and use. Nutritionally, it is a good source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), and provides fiber, iron, and magnesium. It can also be toasted to enhance its flavor and texture in various dishes.
