About Coconut meat
Coconut meat is the edible white flesh lining the inside of a coconut. Depending on the maturity of the fruit, it can be soft and gelatinous or firm, dense, and chewy; its flavour is mildly sweet and distinctly coconut-like.
It is eaten fresh or used grated, sliced, or chopped in cooking and baking. It is also sold dried in forms such as flakes or shreds, which differ in texture and moisture from fresh flesh. The term identifies the flesh, not coconut milk or separated coconut oil.
