What it is

Coconut chips are thinly sliced pieces of dried coconut. They are made from the white flesh of mature coconuts, which is dried and then cut into chip-like pieces. The 'unsweetened' label means no added sugars.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconut chips to add a chewy texture and a mild, sweet coconut flavor to foods. They are often found in cereals, granola bars, trail mixes, and as a topping for yogurt and baked goods.

Health notes

Coconut chips are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of dietary fiber and healthy fats. While generally considered safe, their fat content means they are calorie-dense. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coconut and its derivatives, but specific evaluations for 'coconut chips' as a distinct ingredient are not readily available in public summaries. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Coconut is botanically a fruit, not a tree nut, and is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
