Many supermarkets have given shredded coconut “C” rating, although many people consider it healthy and keto friendly, why?
I’m in the boat where I tend to think that that system is BS. I think that those systems or the guiding stars exist to help you feel better about buying processed boxes of food.
Does the shredded coconut have added sugar? If so that could be a reason.
Definitely could be high fat content. There are good and bad in there.
But I’ll bet there’s some processed sugar cereal that they’ve given a higher grade to try to convince you to buy it.
Don’t read too much into it. Just my opinion.
‘Unlike many other fruits that are high in carbs, coconuts provide mostly fat.
… some research shows that coconut oil can increase LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
While studies show that saturated fat consumption is not directly associated with a higher risk of heart disease, some health organizations, including the American Heart Association, recommend limiting your intake to less than 5–6% of total daily calories.
Therefore, it’s best to enjoy coconut oil in moderation as part of a balanced diet, alongside a variety of other healthy fats like olive oil.’

‘Coconut oil is about 90% saturated fat (higher percentage than butter, beef fat, or lard). Too much saturated fat is bad for heart and blood health because it can raise LDL cholesterol (the “bad” type).’
Shredded coconut can be healthy in moderation as it contains fiber, healthy fats, and some vitamins and minerals. However, it is also high in calories and saturated fat, which can contribute to weight gain and increase cholesterol levels if consumed in excess. The “C” rating in supermarkets may reflect the product’s nutritional profile and potential health impact if consumed in large quantities.
Plenty of studies on the benefits of the type of fats in coconut. But because it’s fat, and saturated fat, it’s not allowed.
It’s almost conspiratorial how we’ve oversimplified that to prop up the veggie oil industry. Adam ruins everything (should be on YouTube) has a basic take on it going back to ancel keys
Even modern nutritionists can’t get it they their head that fat does not equal bad, that fats need to be differentiated, and that even saturated fats aren’t necessarily harmful and again need to be differentiated.
