The health food store I was in yesterday hadn't stocked their bins in a few days and I had to scrape the corners and bottom in order to get a couple of cups of stale coconut. It's very hard and I was wondering if any of you marvelous cooks know a way to soften it. (and they didn't even give me discount on it!)
