Shredded coconut
Energy: ~350 kcal / 100 g (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~350 kcal / 100 g
- Energy density
- 350 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 350 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 105 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Sealed: months. Opened: weeks airtight and dry; a soapy smell means the fat has turned.
Storage: Airtight, cool, dry; toast only what the day needs — toasted coconut fades in days.
- Rim and topping for coconut frappés
- Pineapple and coconut blended drinks
- Toasted crown for hot chocolate
Optional toast: dry pan, low heat, constant motion to pale gold; cool fully before sealing.
High in saturated fat but flavour-dense — a light hand goes far. Coconut allergy is rare and distinct from tree-nut allergy, though some labels still group them; answer allergy questions precisely.
