What it is
Coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm tree. The white flesh inside the hard shell is called coconut meat. Raw organic coconut is the unprocessed meat, often shredded or flaked, and typically comes from coconuts grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use raw organic coconut for its distinct flavor and texture. It adds a tropical taste and chewiness to foods like baked goods, granola bars, energy bars, and chocolate confections. It can also be used as a topping or ingredient in savory dishes.
Health notes
Coconut is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber and some minerals. While it contains saturated fat, research on the health effects of coconut consumption is ongoing and sometimes mixed. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, but not specifically raw coconut meat.
Allergen info
Coconut is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is botanically classified as a fruit, not a tree nut, though some individuals with tree nut allergies may react to coconut.
