FAQs
What is desiccated coconut?
Desiccated coconut is made by grating pure, white coconut flesh into tiny pieces or grains, and then drying it out in hot air at about 55°c. Therefore, it retains some of the coconut’s moisture and texture but is dry to the touch.
At Kiril Mischeff, we stock desiccated coconut in a variety of particle sizes (from medium to extra fine) in either full fat or reduced fat.
What is desiccated coconut used for?
Desiccated coconut is a popular ingredient in both Indian and Asian cuisine but is also commonly used as a tasty topping for a variety of desserts, cereals and baked goods in the UK.
More and more people are now including desiccated coconut into food and drink recipes too, so that they can enjoy its many health benefits.
Is desiccated coconut healthy?
While desiccated coconut is high in fat and calories, it’s also a rich source of nutrients including manganese, selenium and copper – which aren’t easy to come by in other foods!
Many people don’t know this, but in its purest form, it also actually contains more fibre than it does sugar, with 6g of fibre in every 100g compared to 5g of sugar.
