What it is

Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm tree. The raw, unprocessed flesh of the coconut is used as a food ingredient. It is typically white and has a firm, slightly oily texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use raw coconut for its flavor, texture, and nutritional content. It adds a tropical taste and a chewy texture to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, energy bars, desserts, and as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.

Health notes

Coconut is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). While some studies suggest potential health benefits of MCTs, more research is needed to confirm these effects in humans at typical dietary intakes. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, but not raw coconut flesh specifically, and did not set a numeric limit.

Allergen info

Coconut is not considered one of the nine major allergens by the FDA. However, it is botanically classified as a tree nut, and some individuals with tree nut allergies may react to coconut. It does not contain gluten.
