Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut

Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut is dried, shredded coconut flesh commonly used in baking, confectionery and many tropical cuisines for its sweet, nutty flavour and coarse texture. It’s often sold unsweetened for use in cookies, energy bars, curries and as a topping. Nutritionally, Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut is energy-dense and rich in fat but also supplies a substantial amount of fibre — 16.3g per 100g — along with trace minerals such as manganese and copper. Because it’s primarily a dried coconut product, expect a high proportion of saturated fat and calories compared with many other plant-based ingredients. In practical terms, it can add texture and coconut flavour to recipes, but because of its high saturated-fat and calorie content it’s best used in moderation; if you want a similar texture with a more favourable fat profile or extra omega-3s, consider using one of the suggested swaps in recipes.Read more
