What it is

Coconut powder is made from dried, ground coconut meat. The oil is often removed before drying and grinding to create a less fatty powder. It has a mild coconut flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconut powder as a flavor enhancer and to add a subtle coconut taste to foods. It can also act as a thickener or bulking agent. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, sauces, and beverages.

Health notes

Coconut powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and some minerals. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, which is closely related, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake of coconut powder.

Allergen info

Coconut is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not related to tree nuts, although it is botanically a fruit. It does not contain gluten.
