It is indeed finely shredded. The pieces, of course, are all different sizes. I'd say the typical piece is about an eighth of an inch long or maybe 2mm if you speak metric, by a sixteenth of an inch wide, or maybe 1mm. Being dehydrated, there's a lot of it per package. Each 8 oz. package says it contains 2 2/3 cups. That's a lot of coconut shreds.
Another aspect of being dehydrated is that it doesn't have a strong coconut taste like the fresh stuff would, but it does smell and taste real (in case you wondered). I wanted it for low carb, gluten-free Nonpareil Trail Mix I'm concocting. Obviously the primary use would be baking, like macaroons, or maybe putting a frost on top of frosting on baked goods, like the package illustration. You can also use it to make your own coconut milk for use in Thai and Indian cuisine.
Here's a real positive: This coconut is unadulterated. The package says, "Ingredients: Organic Coconut (shredded and dehydrated). Color may vary as this product contains no sulfites." NOTE WELL many producers add a chemical called Sodium metabisulfite to their coconut products, notably to the meat and milk, to "preserve whiteness". This you don't want. Google it. An outfit called Livestrong says that a fatal dose of Sodium metabisulfite is estimated to be 10 g for the average adult, and lists numerous other negative effects. When I ate a different brand of coconut that was laced with this poison, I suffered serious intestinal pain and then the runs. Causal relationship? Hmmm. Anyway, this Let's Do Organic Coconut is blessedly free of such chemicals.
I would add a caution here, that if this finely shredded, dehydrated material eaten as is, that is to say dry out of the package, it could present a danger of aspiration (accidental inhalation). If a person were to breathe at the wrong time, it could "go down the wrong pipe" because it is so fine and light. This would apply to children and the elderly in particular, but could be a hazard for anyone. I also noted that it has a particular tendency to get caught between teeth.
I can figure a reason for not dating a product and that reason is not in the best interest of the consumer. At any rate, I could find no marking tho' I searched carefully, except "EDO349" stamped right over the barcode on the package back. If that's a code date, it's meaningless to the average consumer. Dating is one of the first things I look for when I'm shopping in person. I guess this is a drawback of online grocery purchasing.

I use this product as part of my eating plan almost every day. I sprinkle it on top of a wonderful desert I make. I make this from heavy whipping cream, strawberries (or it can be other types of berries or fruits) nuts and the coconut. I beat the whipping cream to a stiff consistence. I put this over the fruit and nuts. When I have the time, I toast the coconut first and then sprinkle it over the prepared desert. This desert is high in fat and low in sugar so it will keep you full for hours. New research has surfaced that supports; FAT DOES NOT FAT, simple carbohydrates make you fat. I truly believe this as I've lost weight eating this way. NO SUGAR AND NO SIMPLE CARBS. AND FULL FAT...no low fat products.
I also use the coconut mixed with nuts as a snack. I've used this product for a few years now. I buy them 6 at a time.

I really appreciate being able to find a great organic coconut with an affordable price. My only complaint would be I would have liked to know it was a very "fine" shred. But, it is very delectable & I would purchase it again.
