DESCRIPTION
Who doesn’t love the taste of coconut? One of life’s simple pleasures, flaked coconut is so delicious that it’s tempting to eat it all by itself. If you’re looking to buy coconut flakes, you may think that there’s no difference between the coconut you buy from your local grocery store and Wildly Organic’s offering. However, our family-owned company takes pride in sourcing and processing our coconut in the most responsible way possible. The result is flaked coconut that has a light, crisp texture that’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
HOW ARE OUR UNSWEETENED COCONUT FLAKES CREATED?
We worked for a great length of time to develop a natural, dried coconut that we could still call "raw." We are excited to offer low-temperature, unsweetened coconut flakes with an absolutely delectable taste. We start with wild coconuts. The coconut is removed from the shells and washed in pure, filtered water (no chlorine is present). The coconut is then shredded and slowly dehydrated at 98.6°F (37°C). The resulting shredded, raw coconut flakes taste great, have a wonderful texture, and contain the nutrients found in coconut. Desiccating coconut at a lower temperature preserves the coconut’s pure flavor.
Most shredded, dried coconut available online and in grocery stores is desiccated at higher temperatures which makes it taste like toasted coconut instead of pure coconut. Chlorinated water is used to clean and sterilize the coconuts once they are opened and peeled. The coconut meat is grated, often lightly pressed to remove some of the milk (moisture) and then it is dried in huge ovens at temperatures between 170°-180°F (76°-82°C). Much of the shredded coconut sold in grocery stores comes from this desiccated coconut soaked in corn syrup, propylene glycol, and sodium metabisulfite to preserve it. There is a huge difference between raw organic coconut flakes and most store-bought sweetened coconut flakes. Take a look at the ingredient list of our organic coconut and you’ll find only one ingredient: organic coconut. That’s the Wildly Organic difference!
HOW CAN YOU USE OUR ORGANIC COCONUT FLAKES?
Wildly Organic’s coconut flakes are about the size of white rice. Many people find these work well for desserts, such as macaroons, coatings, and cookies. They can also be used in place of large coconut shreds. True coconut lovers know it goes well with chocolate, too. This substitute works in most recipes, especially if you want a more substantial coconut texture and flavor, but do not want too much chewiness. Our coconut flakes are great in trail mixes, numerous raw desserts, cookies, or great to snack on all by themselves. Yogurt, smoothies, cereal, and oatmeal are also tasty foods to add your coconut flakes to. However you end up using your flakes, you’ll fall in love with their deliciously pure flavor.
