ORGANIC COCONUT, desiccated, medium shred
SKU: N131-1
Hurry up! Sales Ends In
Botanical Name: Cocos nucifera
Country of Origin: Sri Lanka
Qualities: Desiccated coconut is simply fresh coconut meat that has been grated and dried. It is available either ground into flour or in various cut sizes (fine (aka Macaroon), medium, and large flakes) as well as different thicknesses. We call our thicker flakes “chips” and offer them in a raw, toasted, or toasted & sweetened version.
Coconut contains no cholesterol or trans fats but is pretty high in saturated fat (7g/oz) and is appreciated for a number of essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, iron, copper, and selenium.
Common Use: dried coconut flakes/chips are delicious and very versatile. They are amazing in raw chocolate or energy bars, often found in pie crust recipes, used as a breadcrumb replacer, pretty as a topping for curries or mixed into salads, added to hot cereals or granolas, blended into smoothies (try blending with frozen bananas for a smooth coconut soft serve), or straight from the bag as a satisfying snack. You can easily make homemade coconut milk for drinking or cooking by blending water and shredded coconut together and squeezing it through a cheesecloth.
Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended for products with higher fat content but is not necessary for short-term storage. Desiccated coconut can be frozen for long-term storage.

Great quaity
Used to make coconut milk. Very nice texture and fat content from these flakes.
Very good
Love the coconut absolutely delicious!
Amazing customer service!
I previously purchased some coconut expecting it to be from the Philippines, but it was from Sri Lanka instead. I posted a review regarding this and was contacted immediately by customer service. Alannah was fantastic and offered a discount on another bag of coconut, and then went out of the way to make sure that it was indeed from the Philippines when I made my next purchase! And the coconut is as outstanding as the customer service! I will not hesitate to buy from Essential Organics again.
OK product, country of origin wrong
Ordering was easy and the product arrived quickly, which was great. I was expecting coconut from the Philippines per the website, but received coconut from Sri Lanka. Not exactly what I was looking for, but not a huge deal. The unfortunate part is the raw coconut tastes like it was stored next to spices (star anise or peppercorns), which is not really ideal.
Great in cookies
We use Essential Organics for many of the items in our coffee shop. The coconut shreds are excellent in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We love that there are no extra sweeteners. We want the real deal, and this has been perfect!
