What it is
Dried coconut is the white flesh of the coconut fruit that has had most of its water content removed. This process concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life. It is commonly found in shredded, flaked, or desiccated forms.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried coconut for its distinct flavor and texture in baked goods, candies, and desserts. It adds a chewy texture and tropical taste to products like cookies, cakes, and confectioneries.
Health notes
Dried coconut is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and some minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated coconut oil, a component of coconut, and found it safe for consumption. Evidence on the health effects of dried coconut itself at typical intake levels is limited, but it is primarily a source of saturated fat.
Allergen info
Coconut is classified as a tree nut by the FDA. Individuals with tree nut allergies should avoid products containing coconut.
