What it is
Grated coconut is made from the dried, shredded, or flaked meat of mature coconuts. Coconuts are tropical drupes, grown on coconut palm trees. The dried coconut meat is often sweetened and can be finely ground or left in larger flakes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use grated coconut primarily as a flavoring and texturizer in baked goods and confectionery. Its sweet, nutty flavor and chewy texture make it a popular addition to cookies, cakes, candies, and desserts.
Health notes
Grated coconut is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of dietary fiber and healthy fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated coconut and its derivatives, establishing acceptable uses in food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Coconut is considered a tree nut by the FDA for labeling purposes, making it one of the major allergens. People with tree nut allergies may need to avoid coconut products.
