What is Desiccated Coconut?
Desiccated coconut or shredded coconut is fresh coconut meat without epidermis that has a fine, powdery texture resembling flour, although it can also be coarser without any additional ingredients. Its nutritional content is similar to that of coconut, containing protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The production process of desiccated coconut involves several steps, starting from the selection of coconut raw materials, cleaning, grinding or grating, drying, and packaging. Good quality Desiccated Coconut has a clean white color, a pure aroma of coconut, and a uniform size.
Desiccated coconut comes in two categories based on fat content: high fat and low fat. It is available in various grades depending on the particle size of the grated coconut, such as medium grade, fine grade, and extra fine grade. Each grade may have slightly different textures, which can affect its suitability for various culinary applications. Desiccated coconut is widely used in the production of snacks, both on a large-scale industrial level and in homemade settings. Its deliciously distinct coconut flavor is popular among many consumers.
