About Coconut butter
Coconut butter commonly means a smooth or coarse spread made by grinding dried coconut flesh, including its natural fat and fibrous solids. It is distinct from coconut oil, which is separated fat, though naming and composition can vary between products.
It is used as a spread or stirred into cooking and baking, where it contributes coconut flavour and a dense, rich texture. It may be sold smooth or visibly textured; some products include added ingredients, so the label matters when identifying a particular version.
