Over the holidays we found some wonderful uses for shredded coconut. This is not the same as coconut flakes, which is what you typically find on store shelves. This stuff has been finely shredded…it looks like snow flakes, almost! Since this was a different way of using coconut, I wasn’t exactly sure if I’d know what to do with it. But as it turns out, I LOVE it!
First, we added it to pancakes and oatmeal. In both cases, it adds delicious flavor but doesn’t add a different texture that might not be appealing, which would happen if y
ou used flakes, instead. Second, I got to make coconut macaroons for the first time in my life, and thanks to a recipe on the Tropical Traditions website, my first batch turned out great and I was able to share them at a holiday party.
Our shredded coconut is the Tropical Traditions Organic Shredded Coconut, and just as we have been with every other product we have tried from this company, we are very impressed with the quality. I feel like I have a wonderful new “secret ingredient” in my pantry and I’m looking forward to discovering many different ways to add a bit of coconut to my cooking and bring new flavors to our table.
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need will win a one gallon tub of Tropical Traditions Organic Shredded Coconut!

I would love to try the shredded coconut, along with ALL of your products made from coconut ingredients. I have SO MANY food allergies, so it has been Very difficult to find products that I can cook with & use as food fillers & such, other than corn or rice (to use for things like the outside breading for chicken nuggets & the inside filler for the chicken nuggets). I have a wheat, gluten, dairy, egg, potato, peanuts & many other food allergies, which makes it extremely difficult to find any good tasting foods that do not have at least one or more of those ingredients. Because I am not allergic to coconuts, my doctor recomended using coconuts more to cook with for frying, sauteeing, baking, adding as fillers, using as a thickening agent, using in place of regular milk, & so on. I am absolutely almost “Giddy” to try out this new product, so that I have a little more variety in my food choices & tastes. Thanks.
I would especially love to try the virgin coconut oil. I have read about & heard so many great health benefits of using coconut oil in one’s diet. I really need the coconut recipe book you are giving away in this blog. Like I said earlier, with SO Many food allergies, it is extremely difficult to prepare anything that tastes good; However I feel that using this recipe book along with your coconut products will open up a whole new variety of good tasting foods for me to eat. Thanks.
