coconut based recipe where raw grated coconut cannot be used. Dried coconut can
be consumed as a snack, in cereal, baked goods, salad, smoothies or sautéed
with vegetables. It is also used as a garnish in several dishes. It is also
available in an unsweetened form. Desiccated coconut has a very high fat
