Abstract: A coconut shredder and cutter apparatus comprises a housing having therein a coconut cutting and shredding compartment with a removable tray bottom, and a transparent cover for the compartment. A motor driven shaft extends into one end of the compartment on which a shredder blade or coconut holder may be selectively mounted for shredding and cutting operations, respectively. During shredding, a coconut half section is supported by a coconut holder mounted on the inner end of a manually manipulable holder mount supported for axial, radial and pivotal movement with respect to the shredder blade which is then mounted on the motor shaft. The coconut half section is manipulated by the operator to bring portions of the meat in the coconut section into engagement with the rotating shredder blade thereby to effect removal of the meat from the coconut shell.
