Coconut flakes are thin pieces of dried coconut meat made from the kernel of the coconut palm. They are typically unsweetened or sweetened, and can be found in wide, large flakes or finer shreds. Drying concentrates the coconut’s natural fats and aroma, yielding a rich, mildly sweet, and chewy product that toasts quickly to a golden, crisp texture.

Common in baking and confectionery, coconut flakes add texture and tropical flavor to cookies, cakes, bars, and candies, and they also work in savory applications like crusting proteins or topping grain bowls. They are shelf-stable, high in saturated fat, and take on deeper nutty notes when lightly toasted.
