Desiccated coconut is finely shredded and dried coconut flesh, used in cakes, biscuits, macaroons, granola, and curry sauces. One metric cup (250 ml) of desiccated coconut weighs around 88 grams or 3.1 ounces. It is lighter and drier than the shredded coconut sold in US baking aisles, which is often sweetened and more moist.

Desiccated coconut compacts when pressed into a cup, so a scooped measure can weigh 20% more than a loose one. Weighing in grams gives the right amount without surprises.

Rolled oats and desiccated coconut are both light, dry ingredients used in granola, flapjacks, and crumble toppings. Oats are heavier (90 g vs 88 g per cup) and give a chewier texture; coconut adds sweetness and a fine crunch. They work well combined in the same recipe.

Coconut milk is pressed from the same coconut flesh that desiccated coconut is dried from. Steep desiccated coconut in hot water and strain for a quick homemade version, or weigh the dry coconut when a recipe wants texture rather than liquid. See what 100 grams of coconut milk is in tablespoons.

Coconut cream is the thick, high-fat layer pressed from coconut flesh, while desiccated coconut is the same flesh dried and shredded. Use the cream for richness in curries and desserts, and the dry form for crunch and structure in bakes. See what 100 grams of coconut cream is in tablespoons.
