Desiccated Coconut is the white fleshy part of the coconut, which is processed into smaller shreds or flakes. After being cut or grounded into granules and/or slices, the coconut pieces are dried to remove maximum moisture from them. In majority of the desiccated coconut brands, the final water content is below 5 percent (average 3 percent). This makes desiccated coconut an ideal culinary ingredient that can be stored for several years without altering its taste.
