COCONUT CHIPS, toasted, sweetened

Botanical Name: Cocos nuciferaCountry of Origin: Philippines Ingredients: Organic coconut, organic coconut sugar, water, iodized salt   Qualities: Desiccated coconut is simply fresh coconut meat that has been grated and dried. It is available either ground into flour or in various cut sizes (fine (aka Macaroon), medium, and large flakes) as well as different thicknesses. We call our thicker flakes “chips” and offer them in a raw, toasted, or toasted & sweetened version. Coconut contains no cholesterol or trans fats but is pretty high in saturated fat (7g/oz) and is appreciated for a number of essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, iron, copper, and selenium. Common Use: Dried coconut flakes/chips are delicious and very versatile. They are amazing in raw chocolate or energy bars, often found in pie crust recipes, used as a breadcrumb replacer, pretty as a topping for curries or mixed into salads, added to hot cereals or granolas, blended
