Well a mature cocnut comes in different stages, but the most common is a brown skinned coconut. The best time to pick, is when it has been left to mature for a while. You can tell if it is mature, by shaking it and if there is liquid present, it is fairly mature. also, peel the skin to reveal brown hair; that is also mature. :)

What is dried coconut meat?

Coconut meat is the white-ish stuff inside the ripe coconut. Coconuts have an outer husk, a shell, and meat when mature. When they are still immature the insides are liquid (coconut milk) and as they mature, the coconut milk starts to turn into the coconut "meat" or "flesh". It is being used, in a sense, like the term walnut "meat" referring to the edible part of the nut (coincidentally also in a shell).

How much grated coconut in one coconut?

A mature coconut should yield about 12 oz of copra (coconut meat) after shelling and peeling off the brown backing. This is equivalent to about 4 oz dried coconut. Dried grated coconut runs about 4 oz to one cup lightly packed so a whole coconut will be about 1 cup of dried grated coconut. So if an Indian recipe calls for "1/2 dried coconut grated", figure about 2 oz of dried grated coconut or 6 oz of fresh.
