I suppose it would work for coconut if you cut the meat into small pieces and removed the skin, but at that point I think you might as well just use a food processor on it which would certainly be less work. Grating a whole coconut with on of those hand thingies will take a long time. What are you trying to grate the c/nut for? To make coocnut milke, or for shreds, or ? That would have a bearing on the best tool for the job. Mon Mar 14 18:45:07 -0800 2005 1462804 0 MikeG
