About

Our Conventional Coconut Flakes are the baker's choice for visual perfection and classic flavour. Sourced from premium coconuts, these flakes are dried and lightly preserved to maintain a pristine, bright white appearance that stays fresh for longer. Unlike organic varieties which can sometimes yellow over time, these flakes offer that iconic "snow-white" look, making them ideal for cake decorating, lamingtons, and confectionary where presentation is key. They deliver a sweet, nutty, and crisp texture at a great value price point.

As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.

 

Directions of Use

These flakes are versatile and ready to use straight from the bag.

1. Baking & Decorating: The bright white colour makes these perfect for coating lamingtons, topping snow-themed cakes, or rolling bliss balls.

2. Toasting: Spread on a baking tray and roast at 160°C for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. This intensifies the nuttiness and creates a crunchy topper for yoghurt or porridge.

3. Trail Mixes: A cost-effective way to add bulk and tropical flavour to homemade trail mixes and granolas.

4. Savoury Curries: Can be ground into a paste or used whole to thicken mild curries and kormas.

Value icon

Why choose conventional over organic?

The main reasons are colour and cost. Conventional coconut is treated with a preservative that keeps it bright white, which is essential for professional cake decorating. It is also generally more affordable for bulk baking.

Sulphur icon

Does this contain Sulphur?

Yes. This product contains Sulphur Dioxide (220). This is a standard food preservative used in dried fruits (like apricots) and coconut to prevent browning and spoilage. If you have a sulphite sensitivity, please choose our Organic Coconut instead.

Sugar free icon

Are they sweetened?

No, these are unsweetened coconut flakes. They have a natural mild sweetness from the coconut oil, but no sugar has been added.

Toasting icon

Can I toast them?

Absolutely. Because of their fat content, they toast beautifully. Simply put them in a dry pan or oven for a few minutes until golden. This enhances the crunch and nutty flavour.

Shelf life icon

What is the shelf life?

Because of the preservative, conventional coconut has a robust shelf life of up to 18 months if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Keto icon

Are they Keto friendly?

Yes. Even though they are not organic, they are low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making them suitable for Keto and Paleo diets (provided you tolerate sulphites).
