About Nuts, coconut meat, dried (desiccated), not sweetened
Unsweetened desiccated coconut is essentially raw coconut meat with most of the water removed, leaving behind a very concentrated source of saturated fat. The fiber is notably high for a dried product. Because no sugar has been added, the sweetness is subtle and natural. It is a staple in South Asian, Caribbean, and Pacific baking and cooking. The fat content is extremely high, so even small amounts contribute significantly to the fat profile of a dish. Good for adding texture to granola, curries, or baked goods where coconut flavor is the goal.
