I have a recipe that calls for a 3 oz CAN of flaked coconut. I've been to three different grocery stores and cannot find it anywhere. I even scoured the Indian/Thai food section. Does anyone know what this is, or if I can sub for bagged flaked coconut?
Thank you!
it's in a little blue can in the baking aisle probably by the pie fillings or the cocoa near the bagged coconut--or near the baking powder & baking soda
it's literally coconut in a can--super moist and fresh
and yes you can substitue the bagged kind
i used frozen coconut for the first time (that i can remember) and i was sincerely not impressed--was dry--probably been thawed & re-frozen a thousand times but the canned is always super fresh/moist
ABaker's used to make a canned angel flake coconut, but I haven't seen it in years. Last I heard Walmart carried it, however, I have not seen it there. I have several recipes with coconut and substitute the bagged coconut. Just make sure to weigh it to get an accurate measurement.
