What Is Desiccated Coconut?
Desiccated coconut is the dried, shredded, or flaked white flesh of mature coconuts. The process includes the peeling of fresh coconut meat before it is cleaned, and then dried at controlled temperatures between 70°C and 80°C. The whole process reduce moisture content to below 3%, which inhibits microbial growth and extends shelf life.
It is available in several grades and forms, including:
- Fine grade – used in baked goods and confectionery coatings
- Medium grade – suitable for granola, cereals, and snack bars
- Coarse/shredded grade – used in savory dishes and coconut toppings
- Desiccated coconut flakes – for decorative pastry and gourmet food applications
