Desiccated Coconuts

Desiccated coconut is coconut that has been chipped, flaked, tattered or powdered, and that has been dried thoroughly to reduce moisture to the lowest possible amount. Dried coconut is essentially the same, but is likely to be slightly moister than coconut denoted as desiccated. Desiccated Coconut is a grated, dried, and unsweetened fresh meat or kernel of a mature fruit of coconut. Desiccated Coconuts are graded by its cutting size, for example, fine grade and medium grade where fine grade is smaller particle size than the medium grade.
