Coconut Dehusked

Fresh coconut meat comes from the brown, fuzzy coconuts that the produce sections of some supermarkets sell. Once you manage to crack open the hard shell, you have access to the coconut milk and the meat, which you mist scrape off the sides of the shell. Use the fresh meat in fruit salads or shred it and add it to baked goods. Fresh coconut is not sweetened, so do not use it in recipes calling for sweetened, dried coconut. Fresh coconut meat is high in saturated fat and calories.

Coconut is a healthy nut that can be used safely as a food. It is mainly reaction free. The kernel is not only healthy but is also safe to be eaten during pregnancy.
