Description
Dry coconut halves are essentially dried and halved mature coconuts that have had the outer shell removed. The process of drying the coconut halves involves removing the coconut water and then drying the coconut meat until it is completely dehydrated. The resulting product is a half coconut shell with a hard, dry, and light brown flesh inside.
Dry coconut halves are commonly used in baking, particularly in the preparation of traditional coconut macaroons. The dry halves can be grated, chopped or shaved to add texture and flavor to the macaroons or other baked goods.
One of the advantages of using dry coconut halves is their long shelf life. They can be stored in a cool, dry place for several months without spoiling. They are also convenient to use as they have already been halved and the outer shell has been removed, which saves time and effort in the kitchen.
