Dry Coconut

Dry coconut, also known as copra, is the dried kernel of mature coconuts. It is widely used in Indian cooking for its rich, nutty flavor and aroma, adding depth to curries, chutneys, sweets, and spice mixes. Dry coconut can be grated, sliced, or powdered depending on the recipe and is often roasted or ground to enhance its taste. In addition to its culinary uses, it is also valued for its healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients. With a long shelf life and intense flavor, dry coconut is a versatile and essential ingredient in traditional and festive dishes.
