What it is
Unsweetened coconut chips are thin slices or pieces of dried coconut meat. They are made by slicing dried coconut and then dehydrating them until they are crisp. This process concentrates the natural coconut flavor and creates a crunchy texture.
Why it's used
Coconut chips are used to add texture and a mild, sweet coconut flavor to foods. They are often sprinkled on top of cereals, granola, yogurt, and baked goods for visual appeal and a satisfying crunch. They can also be incorporated into trail mixes and used as a topping for desserts.
Health notes
Unsweetened coconut chips are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of dietary fiber and healthy fats, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). While generally considered healthy in moderation, they are calorie-dense. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated coconut oil, a related product, and set an acceptable daily intake.
Allergen info
Coconut is not considered one of the nine major allergens by the FDA. It is botanically classified as a fruit, not a tree nut, though some individuals with tree nut allergies may also react to coconut. Not a source of gluten.
