What it is
These are dried, shredded, or flaked pieces of coconut meat. They are made from mature coconuts, with the brown skin often removed before drying and flaking. The unsweetened variety contains no added sugars.
Why it's used
Coconut flakes add texture, flavor, and a slightly chewy bite to foods. They are often used in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins, as well as in granola, trail mixes, and as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.
Health notes
Organic unsweetened coconut flakes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of dietary fiber and some minerals. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, a component of coconut, and established an acceptable daily intake. Coconut itself is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Coconut is considered a tree nut by the FDA for labeling purposes, making it one of the major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
