Shredded coconut is mainly known as a basic ingredient for cakes (e.g. coconut balls), but it also has many other uses: it goes extremely well with creams, pasta, muesli, yogurt, ice cream, milkshakes, and is also found among the spices of oriental cuisine. It is considered an energy bomb, as it is transformed into energy when it is absorbed in the body, so it is especially recommended for those who do vigorous physical work and for athletes, because it increases activity and gives energy.
