There's really no comparison between coconut oil and dried shredded coconut, since they are different foods; however, anything dehydrated generally lasts indefinitely, providing it doesn't get contaminated with moisture.

I think it's a decent food. The drying process might be higher or lower temps depending on the company. I doubt the fat is significantly altered in any dehydration process, and the no-sugar-added stuff has a mild sweetness, but certainly not offensively sweet, and most people like sweet foods. I think it makes a great snack to mix densely into plain yogurt, with some vanilla and a tiny bit of some sweetener (stevia, maple syrup, whathaveyou).

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 do you guys think shredded coconut is a good food ? is the fat alterized somehow? and is it too sweet ? and what's the drying process? if possible i'd like to make my own coconut meat, but i wouldn't wanna just eat it fresh and raw because i think the fiber would scratch my stomach. i've had a history of eating too much raw veggies with olive oil that i had an ulcer sort of thing, and i think i cured it with a lot of banannas, aloe vera, flax seeds and honey, but then i was eating way too much sugar. and all this was a nightmare. so i don't want coconut to do the same thing to me like that. bonny > In a message dated 3/8/04 1:46:58 PM Eastern Standard Time, > carma.paden@c... writes: > > > > How long will shredded coconut keep in a sealed plastic container?

That's not completely true. I've had dry milk that was definitely stale when I brought it home from the store. Coconut would be quite different, being more stable. I'd go by the sniff test if there is any question.

I use the liquid splenda as it has no fillers. you have to sue a lot of coconut or nut or they don't work well. I also find they are dry at first and moisten up by the next day. -- Steve knight Knight-Toolworks www.knight-toolworks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi Steve: I believe Splenda is a no-no. Stevia is about the only safe sweetener these days.
