Coconut meat is the white, edible flesh found inside a mature coconut. It has a firm texture and a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. This meat can be consumed fresh or dried and is often used in various culinary dishes, snacks, and desserts. Rich in healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut meat is also a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It can be grated, shredded, or blended into smoothies, and is a popular ingredient in many tropical cuisines, enhancing both flavor and nutrition.
