The term "coconut flavor" refers to the taste and aroma that is characteristic of coconuts. It can be found in various food products such as desserts, baked goods, beverages, and candies, among others. The flavor comes from the white flesh of the coconut, which has a sweet, nutty, and slightly milky taste with hints of vanilla or butterscotch. It is also used in some cosmetic products such as soaps, lotions, and hair conditioners due to its moisturizing properties.
