 Makes great coating for chicken or fish when mixed with breadcrumbs!Apr 12, 2007
By DAVERAT

I have been using Bob's red mill unsweetened coconut for about 2 years now and it's great. My favorite use for it is as part oif a coating for chicken or fish. You just toast the coconut in a nonstick pan until nice and deeply browned and then mix it half and half with Panko crumbs or regular breadcrumbs. Dredge your chicken pieces in flour, dip in egg and then coat with the coconut & breadcrumbs. I bake mine in the oven but you can also deep fry. This coating is also excellent for shrimp or scallops. Since it's unsweetened, you can use it in carribbean stews or any other savory dish. For baked goods it's especially helpful in controlling the amount of sugar in the final product. Coconut doesn't really need to be sweetened when it's added to other sweet ingredients. For example, those 7 layer dream bars with chcolocate and butterscotch chips as well as sweetened condensed milk don't really need sweetened coconut now do they? I also add this coconut to banana nut breads, chocolate brownies and icings for cakes. If you are making a regular white cake with coconut icing, you can punch up the coconut quotient by trhwoing in a half cup or so into the mix and then some more into the custard filling and get triple coconut cake! Yum. It's not hard to toast this coconut but be aware that once it starts browning, it browns VERY fast and will continue browning even after you remove it from the heat. Once you have bought this and used it, you'll find a hundred other uses for it. try the coconut encrusted chicken for something different!

ExcellentJan 20, 2007
By Rebeca Rodriguez
The coconut is is dry but when used with wet ingredients it softens. It has the perfect coconut flavor and I really like the fact that it is unsweetened. That way I can control the amount of sugar in the recipe. Thanks to Bob my coconut macaroons were a hit!

Great coconutJan 06, 2007
By Kelly Hayes
This coconut tastes great. I don't like the coconut from the grocery store because it is too sweet. Bob's Red Mill coconut is not too sweet. It isn't sticky either when using it.

 Better than I expectedJul 18, 2009
By Fancy Trimmins
I like coconut - pretty much in/on anything and everything. I took a chance on this because of the value and while it is flavorful, either I didn't realize/see, or the description of the product failed to mention (not sure which it is), this coconut is NOT long, narrow, shredded texture, which is what I expected. This is tiny granules - more like sugar crystals. Even raw sugar granules are larger than these coconut mm's. It doesn't affect the flavor or any recipes (so far). It is just messy working with it as it is more like a fine powder that just gets everywhere when spilled. While I wouldn't buy it again, that decision is based on my preference for shredded coconut; not this price, the flavor, or even the packaging all of which was great.

If Amazon sends you FRESH, this coconut will not be "hard!"Sep 27, 2010
By A Research It Maven
"Just the facts please"
$2.70 per pound on Subscribe & Save is the best price around for unsweetened shredded coconut, and this is PREMIUM coconut, too! If you get it and its HARD - COMPLAIN - because what you were sent was STALE! This coconut is another fine product from Bob's Red Mill! We freeze ours, vacuum sealing all but the bag we're currently using, and we never have to endure stale, tasteless coconut, even a year or more later. Frozen coconut works just great in ALL recipies, too, no need to thaw! Compare this coconut to that yucky American favorite called "angel flake" coconut which is LOADED with sugar, salt, preservatives, and WATER! You gotta order some of this! If you've never tasted REAL flaked coconut, you're in for a treat!
