Product Overview
What It Is & How It's Made
Desiccated coconut is fresh coconut meat that has been shredded or grated and then dried until the moisture content is low enough for long shelf stability — typically well under 3%. It's a foundational ingredient across baking, confectionery and snack manufacturing worldwide, prized for its natural sweetness, texture and long shelf life without refrigeration.
It's graded by cut (fine, medium or macaroon cut) and by fat content (standard high-fat, or defatted for lower-fat applications), so the specification can be tailored to your product — from fine desiccated coconut for baking mixes to coarser cuts for confectionery coatings and macaroons.

Common Questions

No — no preservatives or additives, just dried coconut meat.
