Shredded Coconut Conversion: Cups to Grams
Shredded coconut is dried, grated coconut flesh, used in desserts, curries, and baked goods. It comes sweetened or unsweetened, and desiccated (fine) or shredded (coarser). Sweetened coconut is moister and adds sweetness; unsweetened is drier and more intensely flavoured. Toasting brings out a rich, nutty flavour.
