Dry Coconut Scraper

Use a knife to separate the flesh from the shell, and cut it to small pieces which can in turn, be ground using a mixer. This method will come in handy in case you forget to put the coconut in the freezer or if you need the coconut quickly.To grate coconut, you need to crack it open first, then use a box grater or a food processor to grate it. Finally, you can dry your coconut flakes out using an oven or dehydrator to achieve the same texture as the grated coconut from the store.
