Desiccated
coconut is coconut meat which has been shredded or flaked and then
dried to remove as much moisture as possible. There are a number of
different styles of desiccated coconut used around the world, and
availability of this coconut product varies, depending on the
region where one is shopping. If desiccated coconut is not
available, regular dried coconut can be used as a replacement,
although dried content tends to have higher moisture content,
despite the "dried" in the name.
