What Is Coconut Shredded Long Thread 500g?

Coconut Shredded Long Thread 500g refers to dried coconut that has been shredded into long, thin strips or threads. It is made from the flesh of the coconut, which is harvested, dried, and then shredded into long strips, preserving the coconut's natural flavor and nutrients. This type of shredded coconut is often used in baking, desserts, smoothies, and as a garnish in both sweet and savory dishes.

Unlike finely shredded coconut, Coconut Shredded Long Thread retains a larger size, giving it a chewier texture and more presence in dishes. The 500g package provides a generous portion, perfect for those who use shredded coconut regularly in their cooking or baking.
