Date: March 14, 2015 10:55AM I've seen freeze dried coconut that claims to be raw. It's in a green bag. There's no restrictions on the legal use of raw labeling though, so who really knows. Re: shredded coconut

Date: March 15, 2015 09:42AM one difference is that the more it is cut ( shredded), the more the oils are in contact with the air.. and the more of a chance it incurs to get rancid
due to a substantial amount of more surface area being in contact with its environment so mature intact in shell is best as far as dessicated... i'm kind of ignorant but my guess is that it has to be dessicated in order to be shredded like... how would you shred an avocado unless you dessicated it first? granted.. there is such a thing as a shredded avocado ( i'll invent it.. you can buy it lol  Re: shredded coconut

Coconut fat is saturated fat. Shredded coconut desiccates without going rancid. If it's done at a low enough temperature it is considered raw. DIY shredded coconut tastes the best and is easy to do. If you don't want to dehydrate your freshly shredded coconut you can freeze it for later use. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
