Desiccated coconut
Also called: Qumbe engegan (la xoqay) (Soomaali) · Noix de coco râpée (Français) · جوز الهند المجفف (المبشور) (العربية)
Good to know
Desiccated coconut is finely shredded, dried and usually unsweetened; sweetened flaked coconut is moister and sweeter, so check which the recipe needs. It should smell sweet and nutty; skip any that smells stale or soapy.
