Its Wednesday! I’ve got another “Favorite Find” for you!
Its probably no surprise that this post is about a new coconut product I found last week. I have a little love obsession with anything coconut. You’ll also notice I use coconut oil in a bunch of my recipes too.
Some past posts that involve Coconut:
Favorite Find: Chocolate + Coconut
Now I’m not sure of the availability of this product. I was in Costco the other day and found it. I had never seen it there before, so I assume its new. I know all Costco’s are different, so please don’t be mad at me if you can’t find it. Okay?
When Brent and I were in Mexico, we got one of those HUGE coconuts where they drill the hole so you can drink the coconut water.
Once you were done drinking the coconut water, you could bring it back to them and they would hack it up and give you the soft coconut meat. I was so excited, but when they put the coconut meat in a bag for me and I tasted it, I was SO disappointed. It didn’t taste like coconut at all! It tasted like soft wet mush. My guess is that it needed to be dried to bring out the coconut flavor.
Now that’s where this product comes in……
Philippine Dried Young Coconut
Ok, seriously, it is SO GOOD!!!!! Coconut at its best. Think of dried shredded coconut but BETTER! Nutrition isn’t bad either considering most coconut product are very high fat (even though healthy fat). As you can see they are in pieces.
Ingredients: Coconut, sugar, sulphur dioxide. But only 1 gram of sugar per serving. A 42 gram serving is quite a bit, I used my food scale to see.
Nutrition Info:
HOLY FIBER!!!! 14 grams of fiber per serving! That brings the carb count down to 16 grams per serving. Fat is 4 grams which is very low for coconut in my opinion.
The taste – PURE COCONUT BLISS!!!!!!!
This is a great snack paired with a protein shake. Sometimes I’ll have a protein shake with a serving of almonds, but sometimes I’ll have this instead.
Warning: Its VERY addicting. I’ve found my hand in the bag stealing a couple pieces on more than one occasion 😉
So if your a coconut lover like me, you will LOVE this. I assume a dried coconut like this would be available in different brands, so you may be able to find it under a different label.
Now, go enjoy some coconut 😉
