Desiccated coconut is coconut meat which has been shredded or flaked and
then dried to remove as much moisture as possible. There are a number of
different styles of desiccated coconut used around the world, and availability of
this coconut product varies, depending on the region where one is shopping. If
desiccated coconut is not available, regular dried coconut can be used as a
replacement, although dried content tends to have a higher moisture content,
despite the “dried” in the name.
One of the most common forms of desiccated coconut is an unsweetened, very
powdery product which is produced by drying shredded coconut and then
grinding the shreds. It is also possible to find coarser desiccated coconut, such
as desiccated shreds and even flakes of coconut. Many producers also make
sweetened versions. The label should clearly specify whether or not the coconut
has been sweetened.
