Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between shredded coconut and desiccated coconut? Shredded coconut comes in longer, coarser strands while desiccated coconut is finely ground into a powder or very small flakes. For coating and garnishing, shredded works better; for smooth curries and finely blended sweets, desiccated is preferred.

Can I use shredded coconut in place of desiccated in recipes? In most South Asian recipes, yes — though the texture will be coarser. For a finer consistency, pulse shredded coconut briefly in a food processor.
