Shredded dried coconut (มะพร้าวอบ)

Shredded dried coconut is very useful for a lot of paleo dishes, but it often has sugar in it here in Thailand.  To make sure it doesn't have sugar, you can ask the vendor or look on the package.  Sugar in Thai is "น้ำตาล" and is usually -- but not always -- listed.  Rimping, Yok, and Kasem all carry dried shredded coconut that doesn't have sugar in it. (มะพร้าว is coconut and อบ is "baked" or "dried".)

But the labels don't always make sense in English...
