Harmons Unsweetened Coconut Chips
What it is
These are thin, crisp flakes of dried coconut. They are made from the white flesh of the coconut, which has been sliced and then dehydrated. The unsweetened variety means no added sugars or sweeteners are used in their preparation. This allows the natural, subtle sweetness of the coconut to come through. They offer a satisfying crunch and a distinct tropical flavor.

You can enjoy these coconut chips straight from the bag as a snack. For cooking, they are excellent sprinkled over breakfast bowls like yogurt or oatmeal to provide a delightful crunch.

They can also be incorporated into baked goods like cookies or muffins, or used to coat chicken or fish before frying for a unique crust.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any unused coconut chips in an airtight container. Keep the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage will prevent them from becoming stale or losing their satisfying crunch.
