What Is Desiccated Coconut?
Desiccated coconut is the result of processing fresh coconut meat. First, they remove the meat from the coconut shell, capturing the sweet flavor, and then they dry it to create dried coconut flakes. The drying process preserves the natural flavor and extends the product’s shelf life.
Types of Desiccated Coconut
There are two main types of Desiccated Coconut:
High Fat Desiccated Coconut: This type is made from whole coconut meat, including the coconut oil. It often has a rich, oily flavor and is suitable for cooking and baking.
Low Fat Desiccated Coconut: This type has had some of the coconut oil removed to lower its calorie content. Despite its lower fat content, it still imparts a fresh coconut flavor and you can use it in various culinary recipes.
