Desiccated coconut is coconut meat which has been shredded or flaked and then dried to remove as much moisture as possible.
It has a snow white appearance with a fresh sweetness and nutty flavor. Desiccated coconut is also available in a sweetened, toasted or toasted sweetened variety. It is used in making cookies, cakes, pastries, desserts, puddings or any other coconut based recipe where raw grated coconut cannot be used.
