| Not really the same. Shredded coconut is just shredded coconut meat. Dessicated coconut is shredded coconut without the moisture.

| I would guess so... but I'm not sure. Because the moisture is extracted, their volume should theoretically decrease (if they are shredded the same way).

| I don't think you can find shredded coconut that is not dessicated. I'm sure there's no such thing in Germany. You could shred coconut meat yourself, I suppose... By the way, if I remember correctly, on American labels "shredded coconut" is the same thing as "dessicated coconut" in the UK (someone please correct me if I'm wrong with this one). So if a recipe asks for shredded coconut, it's probably dessicated coconut what is meant.
