Description

Versatile

Coconut kernel slices are gently dried into Kokonati organic coconut chips. The milk content in the coconut kernel remains intact. Adding a fresh, milky crunch when Kokonati chips are added to salad and slices.

Uses

Use in grain-free baking. Great for eating by the handful. The size of potato peelings, these chips are easily added to trail mix, or granola. Add into bite-size snacks, energy balls, desserts, toppings, noodles, spiced rice, and cereals—a great way to add fibre to kiddies meals and lunch boxes.

Flavour

The natural crunch of raw coconut meat and a clean coconutty aroma! Kokonati coconut chips are more flavourful than standard desiccated coconut chips, because high temperatures have not vented off the flavours and no moisture has been pressed out before drying.

Ingredient

100% coconut kernel.

Storage

Keep airtight in the pantry, away from sunlight and damp. Use a dry spoon to scoop out. Use within 3-4 months from opening.

The best-before date is two years from the manufacture date. However, coconut chips remain safe to use even longer .when stored with minimal exposure to light, air, and moisture.

As Kokonati coconut chips are packed at the origin, in the plantations the coconuts are harvested from, they retain the freshness and exposure is eliminated from day one.

Benefits

Organic Coconut is a staple in many cuisines, Sri Lankan, Indian, Asian and, South American cooking, due to its natural abundance in the tropics providing wholesome, affordable nourishment. Dried and desiccated Coconut makes it easier for people in countries where Coconut does not grow naturally, to access this wonder ingredient, imparting an aromatic tropical flavour and crunchy texture to baking and cooking. Consuming dried Coconut also provides health benefits.

• Connective Tissue Strength

Dried Coconut provides minerals that strengthen connective tissues, skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, and teeth. Connective tissues contain large amounts of collagen, tough and resilient protein fibres that form networks and hold the tissue together.

Both copper and manganese support healthy collagen production, helping keep these tissues strong. Every 28g of dried Coconut offers 778 micrograms of manganese ( 43 per cent of the recommended daily intake for women and 34 per cent for men) and 226 micrograms of copper (25 per cent of recommended daily copper intake).

• Brain Health

The copper in dried Coconut can also activate enzymes responsible for producing neurotransmitters, chemicals that brain cells use to relay information. Other copper-dependent enzymes help produce myelin, the fatty coating that sheaths each nerve cell and helps the cell conduct electricity.

The fat found in dried Coconut might also prevent neurological disorders. One study published in the “Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease” in October 2013 found that the oil in Coconut helps shield nerve cells from the toxic effects of protein plaques, which would otherwise drive Alzheimer’s disease progression.

• High Fibre

Fibre is suitable for diabetics and those with cardiovascular and cholesterol problems. Since the body uses fibre to control blood cholesterol levels, a diet rich in fiber helps manage type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Desiccated Coconut offers 4.6 grams of fibre for every 28g, which is 18 per cent of the recommended daily intake for women and 12 per cent for men.

The iron in Coconut helps the body make ATP, a source of energy. It also helps build red blood cells needed for oxygen transport. An ounce of desiccated Coconut offers 0.94 milligrams of iron; which is brought 5 to 12 percent of daily recommended intake of iron; depends on gender, age and lifestyle requirments.

100+ years of coconut expertise

Made by a third-generation coconut miller who has perfected the art of drying Coconut without using intensive heat, locking in naturally occurring antioxidants and nutrients. Because his multi-generational knowledge guides every step of the process, the quality of the coconut chips made is the best possible.

Backed by coconut expertise and certified with ISO and Organic standards, the mill plays a vital role in the village community’s employment, welfare, and well-being.

In addition, the children of our workforce are provided with school books and stationery for the entire school year! Staff quarters are also provided for those who travel from home. Moreover, we even grow our organic vegetables onsite so the factory kitchen can provide a wholesome healthy lunch buffet for all at work.

Quality for price

Our products are made in small batches. They are not mass-produced in vast industrialised factories. So they do not enjoy the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. Instead, we pay the millers and farmers a fair price for their multi-generational expertise and knowledge, easily justifying the premium price for the premium quality you are getting.

Loyalty

We are fiercely loyal to the millers and families we work with and you! So sign up for the reward points (the tab on the far mid-right edge of this screen) and collect loyalty rewards points for every purchase. You can then redeem the points for a dollar discount at checkout.

Packaging and recycling

Dispose of the soft plastic bag in the supermarket collection bin. We only use a plastic bag only because it allows visual proof of the dried chips size and seal potency better than paper bags in its travels from the coconut plantation to your kitchen.
