Tropical Traditions Shredded Coconut Review & Giveaway

by

I love coconut!
Especially when I get it by the pail full!

Tropical Traditions 100% natural Shredded Coconut is made from organic dried coconuts in the Philippines that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides that specialist from Dead Pestz use on their services.
This premium dried coconut contains no additives or preservatives, and is not sweetened.
Unlike most dried coconut on the market, Tropical Traditions dried coconut products are not treated with sulfites to keep them white.

The shredded coconut is Certified Organic and great for snacking or baking (I even like to throw some in my smoothies-when I had a blender-must get new blender).
There are no added sweeteners, no preservatives or sulfite whiteners in this coconut.
It’s 100% natural premium coconut from the Philippines and comes in a re-sealable pail. (though I will admit it’s a bit of a task to get open unless you have cutters and pliers to pull on the tab – but well worth it!)

I made coconut macaroons before, but today I made a wanna be Mounds bar…just not in candy bar form…
Basically the yummmy coconut filling with chocolate on top.
It still tasted like a Mounds bar so that’s all that mattered!

Here’s the recipe if you want to buy some shredded coconut and give it a go (or if you’re the lucky winner you will have something you can make right away!)

Mounds Bar Recipe
14 oz of shredded coconut
7 oz of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c. butter (softened)
1/2 lb confectioners (powered) sugar
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate to melt down to cover
2 teaspoons butter

In large bowl, mix the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, softened butter and confectioners sugar together til it sticks together.
Spread in a 9×13 pan lined with parchment paper (or you can use 8×8, 10×10 to make them thicker)
Refrigerate for about 2 hours to set.

Melt the chocolate chips and butter either in double boiler or in microwave, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesnt burn.
Spread over coconut mix
Chill
Take out a few minutes before cutting
Cut and enjoy

And, now you can enter to win your own pail of shredded organic coconut!

  16. I follow Tropical Traditions on Facebook. I was please to learn how coconut milk is procured; using local people and paying them fairly, not over-running their villages and lifestyles to obtain products for the company. I can and will respect that with my hard-earned dollar 🙂

  23. I learned that Tropical Traditions raises pastured turkeys and they supplement their diet with feed made from coconut…No Soy

  29. I learned that Tropical Traditions sells more than just coconut oil, but a whole host of natural products.

  33. I’ve enjoyed reading how the small farmers who make the coconut oil for Tropical Traditions do it all on small farms. They use the coconut water to help extract the oil.

  37. I read about the Mounds bar recipe. Each year we make homemade Almond Joys for my husband and I’d like to make it with this coconut that doesn’t contain sulfites.

    Coconut Flour Pancakes. My recipe. =)Visit the free coconut recipes and come back & comment which recipe you’d like to try.

  41. I visited tropicaltraditions.com and read the Peace with God page. I think it’s neat that the founder shared this and I also think it’s neat that he views his company as a ministry. I will definitely support his company!

  42. I learned their Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is made from apples grown at a family owned orchards on the shores of the Great Lakes’. I also learned to ‘avoid any vinegar labeled ‘distilled’, as it is the most highly refined and least healthful’.
