I discovered that mature shredded coconut is delicious!
It could be a healthy snack; eaten raw and tastes sweet and creamy. I eat it along with boiled eggs to "kill" the taste of boiled eggs which had become part of may daily meal, aside from meat and sea foods. I also eat a little amount of vegetables like cabbage, lettuce and cucumber.
One can really be creative in thinking of ways to make his meal healthy. It is also cheap.

@just4him yes, because we have lots of coconuts here in the Philippines, so we usually have such coconut shredder at home.

It is hard to get it from the shell; we use a special shredder to extract the meat.

@tech40 but it is getting costly now because many of the farmlands had been converted into housing projects.

Mature shredded coconut is for the dip of snack foods like rice cake.

I have never had fresh shredded coconut. We can get dried coconut flakes here, which are somewhat nicer than the finer, dessicated coconut and it's possible to get frozen fresh coconut, I think, in oriental stores. Coconut is used a great deal in 'healthy' snacks and energy bars and coconut milk (as a substitute for dairy) is widely available.
