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.

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.
