Fine Desiccated Coconut 500g – A Baking Pantry Essential
Bring naturally sweet tropical flavour and fine texture to your recipes with SpicenEasy Fine Desiccated Coconut 500g.
The coconut is finely grated and dried, creating a uniform texture that blends easily into baking mixtures and creates an even coating for desserts and confectionery. It is especially well suited to classic Kiwi baking favourites such as lamingtons, coconut ice and slices.
