Coconut butter
A kind of coconut · also called creamed coconut, coconut paste, coconut manna
About
Coconut butter is a dense paste made from dried coconut flesh, packing nearly half a pound into a single cup.
With a density of roughly 7.9 ounces per cup (0.95 grams per milliliter), coconut butter is just slightly lighter than water. It is made by finely grinding dehydrated coconut pulp into a rich paste that hardens into a firm block at room temperature. A standard half-pound portion takes up about one cup (237 milliliters) of space, which closely matches the volume of chilled dairy butter or peanut butter. Because it contains both natural fiber and fat, it is slightly denser than pure liquid coconut oil.
From Wikipedia
Creamed coconut, also known as coconut butter, is a coconut product made from the unsweetened dehydrated fresh pulp of a mature coconut, ground to a semi-solid white creamy paste. It is sold in the form of a hard white block which can be stored at room temperature.
