Coconut, flesh only, fresh

Fresh coconut flesh is the edible part of the coconut kernel, with the shell removed. It mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 36g of fat, including 31g of saturated fat, and provides 1446 kJ of energy. It also contains 370mg of potassium.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Most of the fat in coconut flesh is saturated, which is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat or energy intake.
