Shredded coconut

Energy: ~350 kcal / 100 g (planning figure — the product label is the final reference)

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
• Piña-colada-style zero-proof mocktails
• 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.
