Desiccated Coconut Supplier from Indonesia

Desiccated coconut is grated and dehydrated coconut meat produced from fresh, mature coconuts.  The fresh coconut meat is pared, comminuted to the desired particle size (fine, medium, coarse, or shredded), and then pasteurized and dried to a low moisture content — typically below 3% — to achieve the shelf stability required for food manufacturing.

Unlike grated coconut (which retains moisture), desiccated coconut has an extended shelf life of 12–18 months when stored in a cool, dry environment. It is a key dry ingredient in bakery products, confectionery, snack bars, ice cream coatings, and traditional Asian desserts.It is widely used in bakery, confectionery, snack, and food manufacturing applications due to its natural coconut flavor and functional properties. In some markets, desiccated coconut is also referred to as dried grated coconut or dried coconut flakes.

Commercial desiccated coconut is commonly classified by fat content and particle size. Fat content grades typically include high-fat, medium-fat, and low-fat desiccated coconut, allowing manufacturers to select the appropriate specification based on texture, mouthfeel, and formulation requirements.

Desiccated coconut is also available in different cut sizes, such as fine and medium grades. Fine grade desiccated coconut is often used for bakery fillings, coatings, and confectionery products where uniform texture and even distribution are required.
