Coconut (toasted, flaked)

Coconut is the large fruit of the coconut palm, with a hard brown shell, white flesh, and a pocket of liquid inside. Its flesh is eaten fresh, dried into desiccated coconut or flakes, or pressed for milk, cream, and oil, contributing a rich, sweet, tropical flavour across many cuisines. Fresh coconut flesh has a firmer texture and more subtle sweetness than the dried, shredded forms typically sold for baking.

Toasting removes some surface moisture and can make pieces lighter and more brittle, slightly changing how they settle into a cup.
