Heera Coconut Desiccated Med 300 gr

Heera Coconut Desiccated Medium 300 g — what it is and how you can use it ??

? What is it

Heera Desiccated Coconut Medium is dried, shredded coconut meat from mature coconuts — with all water removed and only coconut kernel.

“Medium” refers to the cut/flake-size — coarser than “fine” but finer than “chips.” This makes it versatile for both cooking and baking.

Because it is dried, it has a longer shelf-life than fresh coconut and is easier to store.
????? How it’s used — cooking & baking

You can use Heera Medium Desiccated Coconut in many ways:

In desserts & sweets: cakes, cookies, pastries, ladoos, barfis, coconut macaroons — adds coconut flavour and texture.

In savory dishes: curries, rice dishes, stir-fries — as a substitute for fresh grated coconut, or to add coconut aroma/texture.

As toppings or garnish: great sprinkled over yogurt, oats, desserts, or salads for a tropical flavor + crunch.

In baking and confectionery processing: ideal for bakery/cake industries, biscuits, chocolate bars, etc.

?? Nutritional / quality aspects

It’s purely coconut — no added sugar or preservatives (for standard unsweetened versions) in Heera’s product.

Desiccated coconut is dense in energy, healthy fats, dietary fiber, and minerals — making it nutritious (though also high in fat, like all coconut products).

According to typical nutritional data for desiccated coconut: for 100 g you get roughly ~660 kcal, mostly from fats, along with fibre and modest protein.
?? Storage & usage tips

Because it is dried, store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for maximum shelf-life.

After opening, if you live in a humid environment, you may want to refrigerate or use a dry container to prevent moisture absorption and spoilage.

Use medium-grade desiccated coconut when you want some texture — if you need a finer coconut base (for smoother sweets or fine baking), a “fine cut” desiccated coconut may be better; but medium works well for general cooking/baking, toppings, and traditional recipes.
