About Nuts, coconut meat, raw

Coconut sits in a category of its own — botanically a fruit, often grouped with the nuts, and unlike almost any other fruit in that its white meat is dense, rich and built largely on fat rather than sugar. Fresh, it's firm and mildly sweet; dried and shredded, it's a baking staple.

That fat content makes coconut meat very calorie-dense and high in saturated fat — much of it the medium-chain type metabolized a little differently from other fats. It's also a good source of fiber, manganese, copper and iron. Despite some bold marketing, it remains a high-saturated-fat food best enjoyed in moderation.

Rich, distinctive and endlessly useful — from curries to cakes to coconut milk — it's a fruit that behaves more like a fat, and is best treated as one in the diet.
