About COCONUT
This product is shredded coconut, sweetened and preserved with sulfur dioxide. It's a high-calorie ingredient primarily used in baking and desserts. A small amount delivers significant energy due to its high fat content, largely saturated fat. It provides a modest amount of protein and carbohydrates, mainly from added sugar.
Due to its high fat and sugar content, this sweetened coconut should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. It can add flavor and texture to baked goods, but its nutritional profile necessitates mindful portion control, especially for those managing weight or saturated fat intake. Consider unsweetened coconut as a healthier alternative.
Ingredients
