Coconut Wide Chip
Unsweetened wide flakes for cakes and cookies that won't brown too quickly like shredded coconut.
What it is
Coconut wide chips are large, flat pieces of dried coconut meat that have been sliced thin and dehydrated. They're made from mature coconuts and contain no added sugar, preserving the natural coconut flavor.
Flavor and texture
Mildly sweet with a rich coconut flavor and satisfying chewy texture that's less dense than shredded coconut.
Best uses
Perfect for topping cakes, cookies, and granola, mixing into trail mix, or adding to homemade energy bars and tropical-themed desserts.
Storage & freshness
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from direct light.

Durations are for best quality. Safe to consume longer if no spoilage signs present.
Natural coconut oils can turn rancid over time, especially in warm conditions or when exposed to air and light.
Cooking tip
Lightly toast the chips in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to bring out deeper coconut flavor and add extra crunch to your recipes.
Interesting note
Unlike shredded coconut, wide chips are cut in a way that showcases the natural grain of the coconut meat, making them especially popular for decorative purposes.
