About Nuts, coconut meat, dried (desiccated), sweetened, shredded
Sweetened shredded desiccated coconut adds sugar to an already fat-rich ingredient - the result is a product that tips heavily toward fat and carbohydrates in roughly equal weight, with modest fiber and very little protein. The sweetness makes it useful in baked goods, trail mix, macaroons, and dessert toppings. The coconut flavor is pronounced but not as fresh-tasting as toasted fresh coconut. Because of the added sugar and the natural saturated fat in coconut, this is best treated as a dessert ingredient rather than a nutritious snack, even though it shows up in health-food contexts more often than it probably should.
