Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 When I Google this...I get... produced from matured coconuts and the white coconut meat is granulated into the various desired sizes and is available as Macaroons, Medium, Flakes, Fancy Shreds, or Chips. I am endeavoring to make the Turkish Rosewater rice pudding... Last night, victory and I searched the shelves of three Grocery stores for Desiccated coconut. I ask store People and they looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my forehead...and took me to the baking dept, only to find the standard flaked Coconut on the shelves... Should I just granulate (chop) the standard flaked coconut into what looks like sugar? It is so wonderful to have this group to ask questions... Hugs, chef.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sorry for the late reply on this, chef. Are the coconut flakes you mention like the picture on this page?: http://www.foodsubs.com/Fruitdry.html Desiccated coconut over here is usually chopped much finer, but I can see no reason you couldn't use these little flakes. The coconut flakes we have over here are much bigger and to me that would seem a little strange on this pudding. Have fun with it - I used chopped pistachios and flaked almonds which were both great on this pudding. hugs Christie in Edinburgh , " bj_lee " <bj-lee wrote: > > When I Google this...I get... produced from matured coconuts and > the white coconut meat is granulated into the various desired sizes and is > available as Macaroons, Medium, Flakes, Fancy Shreds, or Chips. > I am endeavoring to make the Turkish Rosewater rice pudding... > Last night, victory and I searched the shelves of three Grocery stores > for Desiccated coconut.
