Talking about coconut is endless. All parts of the coconut starting from the shell, coir, to the meat can be utilized and made into various things. One of the most popular coconut meat products is desiccated coconut.<\/p>\n

Desiccated coconut or grated coconut is a processed coconut product derived from grated coconut meat that has been mashed and hygienically dried. Desiccated coconut is commonly used as an ingredient for making bread, biscuits, decorations, and cake toppings. The content of desiccated coconut also resembles coconut in general. The content of fat, protein fiber, minerals and vitamins contained in desiccated coconut is certainly beneficial for the body.<\/p>\n

There are 2 types of desiccated coconut on the market, namely Low Fat Desiccated Coconut (LFDC) and High Fat Desiccated Coconut (HFDC). The difference between the two is in the fat content. LFDC has a lower fat content (35%-50%) compared to the HFDC type. This is influenced by the manufacturing process itself, where LFDC comes from dried coconut meat that has had its coconut cream extracted so that the fat content is automatically reduced.<\/p>\n
