Your local grocery store should carry it. It isn't a very exotic item.
I've never seen shredded coconut in a can. I've only seen it sold in bags in the supermarket. It is found in the aisle with baking products.
There are so many places where you can buy shredded coconut in a can. As a matter of fact, you should find it in almost every grocery store that you walk into.
Canned coconut can be purchased.
At Shoprite and Acme.
no its not
about $3
The ingredient is shredded and dried fresh unsweetened meat from a mature coconut that contains a moisture content of 3%. Desiccated coconut is used the same as flaked sweetened coconut in any recipe.

White coconut meat that has been dried and shaved--usually sold sweetened in bags.
According to http://www.angelfire.com/journal/wwrecipes/assorted.htm 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut = 4 ounces 1 1/3 cups shredded coconut = 4 ounces
It is more moist and has sugar added.
man I hope not, these coconut shavings I just ate are two years expired, but so far so good.
Allrecipes has a quick and easy delicious coconut shrimp recipe. Just mix one egg with some flour, flaked coconut, and beer and dip your shrimp in this batter before frying them.
That stuff lasts for years especialy if you intend to bake it.
It's unsweetened coconut cut in very thin slices or "ribbons". Unsweetened flaked coconut would be the same thing except for the texture. I use ribbon coconut in a peanut brittle recipe and it doesn't turn out well with regular, unsweetened coconut. The coconut you find at the grocery store with the nuts and chocolate chips is sweetened. I found unsweetened flake coconut in the natural foods aisle.
Yes, it does I'm afraid. You may need to add more liquid or fat to keep the proportions the same.
