Shredded Coconut 2 Pack

Two bags of unsweetened desiccated coconut — $16.99 against $19.98 for two singles, a saving of 15%. One ingredient, finely shredded, and no sulphur dioxide.

No sulphites, which is unusual

Most dried coconut is treated with sulphur dioxide to keep it white. Ours is not — it is a shade creamier as a result, tastes more like coconut, and matters to anyone who reacts to sulphites.

It is also unsweetened. The sweetened shredded coconut in most baking aisles can be a third sugar by weight. This is coconut and nothing else.

How to use it

• Toasted, over anything — dry pan, medium heat, three minutes, stirring. The best thing you can do with it
• Porridge, yogurt and smoothie bowls
• Baking — macaroons, granola, coconut cake
• Curries and dals — toasted and blended in
• Coating — truffles and dipped fruit

If a recipe calls for sweetened coconut, this works but the result will be less sweet. Add sweetness elsewhere.

Common questions

Is it certified organic?
No. We are not USDA organic certified and we do not use the word. If you find an older listing that says otherwise, it is out of date.

Is it sweetened?
No. No sugar, no sulphites, no preservatives.

Will two bags keep?
Yes, sealed, cool and dry. Coconut has natural oils, so heat and light are what shorten its life.

No one is perfect. Just have good balance.
