Product Review
Coconut chips make a nice addition to fruit mixes and some salads. Here's my opinion of Dang Toasted Coconut Chips- Original
These coconut chips are toasted, so they are slightly brown. I am using them because they were less work and less waste than making my own, but I don't really like them very much.
Things I Do Like:
The size and shape are good. The texture and size of flaked coconut doesn't work well in fruit mixes.
It wasn't outrageously expensive. This 3.17 oz bag was $2.50 and contains about a cup of chips
Things I Don't Like:
There is added sugar and salt. These aren't really necessary, and they are very sweet.
I don't like that they are toasted golden brown. There would be more coconut flavor if they weren't so crisp.
Other Products in This Line:
Lightly Salted Coconut Chips
Caramel Sea Salt Coconut Chips
Chocolate Sea Salt Coconut Chips
Ingredients:
Coconut, cane sugar, salt.
Alternatives:
When I have the time, I prefer to buy a fresh coconut and use a vegetable peeler to peel off flakes of the white flesh. These can be dehydrated, but they don't keep very well. I once got violently ill on some spoiled coconut that I'd kept too long.
Organic food stores may carry dried coconut "flakes," which are about this size. These are often sweetened, too, but not toasted.
