Coconut, creamed block

Creamed coconut is the dried kernel of the coconut, formed into a solid block. It mainly provides fat and energy, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 2760 kJ of energy, 69g of fat, including 59g of saturated fat, and 6g of protein.

The high saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol, while replacing some saturated fat with unsaturated fat can help lower it. Creamed coconut also provides minerals, including potassium and magnesium, which support normal muscle and nerve function. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (7 samples, 2 brands; block of dried kernel). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Fruit and vegetables, 1989-1990; selenium from Analysis of foods for Selenium 1994..
