What it is

Unsweetened coconut flakes are made from the white flesh of mature coconuts. The flesh is dried and shredded or flaked, retaining its natural flavor and texture without added sugars.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add unsweetened coconut flakes for flavor, texture, and a slightly sweet taste without added sugar. They are commonly found in granola, cereal, energy bars, baked goods, and as a topping for desserts and yogurt.

Health notes

Unsweetened coconut flakes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of dietary fiber and healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, which is derived from coconuts, and established an acceptable daily intake. Coconut is not among the major allergens.

Allergen info

Coconut is botanically a fruit, not a tree nut, and is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
