Desiccated Coconut
Original price was: $ 5.12.$ 5.10Current 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.
