Shredded coconut, coconut powder, and coconut flakes
Shredded coconut, fine coconut powder, or coconut flakes for macaroons, toppings, and exotic decorations.
Shredded, powdered, or flaked
Shredded coconut is a classic for coconut macaroons and toppings; fine powder blends evenly into batter or cream; flakes, often toasted, are mainly used as decoration on cakes and desserts.
Toast for more flavor
Coconut flakes and shredded coconut toast in the oven at 150-160°C for a few minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes until golden. They burn quickly, so keep an eye on them until they’re done.
