What is desiccated coconut used for?

Desiccated coconut is most commonly used in baking for cakes, biscuits and desserts, but it is also added to savoury dishes like curries and rice for extra flavour.

Is desiccated coconut the same as shredded coconut?

Desiccated coconut is more finely grated and dried compared to shredded coconut, which has larger, thicker pieces. This makes desiccated coconut better for baking and mixing into batters.

Can desiccated coconut be used instead of fresh coconut?

Yes, desiccated coconut can be used as a convenient alternative to fresh coconut, especially in baking and cooked dishes, as it provides similar flavour without preparation.
