Dried Coconut?

Post by Chermo »

I am having a hard time finding dried coconut that is not sweetened, does anyone have any idea if I can give them dried sweetened coconut or where I can find dried unsweetened coconut? I currently have fresh coconut my husband bought for me but now they are down molting and are not eatting the fresh coconut and it was a pain in the butt to get the fresh coconut off the shell. I would love to find the dried coconut in unsweetened. Anyone know?

I just found mine at a little local store. It was right beside the sweetened stuff.

You could shred the coconut you have and freeze it for later use. Or just keep it in chunks and freeze it that way also.

If you want to dehydrate it, can shred it and put it in a dehydrator.

Natural food stores would have it more then likely or the internet.

I found dried coconut at petsmart in the hermit crab section near all the shells and calcium treats and sponges.

Petsmart also has dried coconut with dehydrated raspberries, in the bird section. It is a lot cheaper. I am a new crab owner and have found by three guys love this food. :D

I will definitely look for these next time I go to petsmart. I don't go there that often but I am sure I will be going much more since I have these little guys. I also like the way petsmart (at least in my area) is having a special with your purchase they give you your receipt and it has a number to call to take a survey and you get a code at the end you write down and you get $3 off that you can use on anything you purchase that is $3 or more. I have used it 2 times so far and have another one in my purse for my next purchase that expires Aug 1st so I will be using it before then.

I've been using those at Petco! They're great and they only take 2 seconds to do on the phone.

When I went to petco, I didn't get the chance to get a coupon by doing a survey, only petsmart here is doing them. Maybe petco picks and chooses who it gives them to.
