What it is

Organic unsweetened coconut is the dried, shredded, or flaked flesh of the coconut fruit, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Coconuts grow on palm trees, primarily in tropical regions. After harvesting, the white flesh is separated from the hard shell, dried, and then processed into various forms like shreds or flakes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add unsweetened coconut for its texture, flavor, and fiber content. It is commonly used in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins, as well as in granola, energy bars, and as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal.

Health notes

Organic unsweetened coconut is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber and healthy fats, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). While generally considered healthy in moderation, its saturated fat content is higher than many other fats. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, which is derived from coconut flesh, and established an acceptable daily intake.

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.
