Dry coconut, derived from mature coconuts after the moisture is removed, is a nutrient-dense ingredient commonly used in South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Caribbean cuisines. It is rich in healthy fats, primarily saturated fats, which provide long-lasting energy. Dry coconut is also a source of dietary fiber, manganese, copper, and selenium, supporting digestion, bone health, and antioxidant activity. Its naturally sweet flavor makes it a versatile addition to desserts, curries, and snacks. However, its high calorie and fat content should be consumed in moderation, particularly by individuals managing their heart health or weight. Dry coconut is usually available as flakes, powder, or grated, making it easy to incorporate into a variety of recipes. With a balance of nutrients and bold flavor, dry coconut is a nutritious yet indulgent ingredient when used thoughtfully.
