Fat replacers are ingredients designed to imitate the sensory and functional properties of fats in food while reducing calorie and fat content. They are commonly used in low-fat and reduced-calorie products to maintain desirable texture, moisture, and mouthfeel without the health risks associated with high-fat diets. These substitutes can be carbohydrate-based (such as starches and gums), protein-based (like modified whey or egg proteins), or even engineered fats (such as olestra) that partially resist digestion.

Desiccated Coconut

Original price was: $ 6.00.Current price is: $ 5.10.
Desiccated Coconut is finely shredded, dried coconut meat derived from mature coconuts (Cocos nucifera). It is produced by removing the coconut water, then drying the white coconut kernel to reduce moisture content to less than 3%. The drying process preserves the natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional content while extending shelf life. Desiccated coconut is commonly available in various particle sizes and grades, suitable for culinary, bakery, confectionery, and food processing applications. It is valued for its rich texture, nutty flavor, and ability to add moisture and fat to food products.
