Organic Coconut Flakes – Toasted
What are Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes?
Only fresh, matured coconuts are used to produce Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes. As the first step, coconuts are cleaned and then dried to remove excess water to preserve the natural crispiness and taste of the actual coconuts. Then coconut meat is cut into thin layers known as flakes. To bring tastier products, Ranre Foods sources all of its coconuts from the Coconut Triangle in Sri Lanka (situated between the towns of Kurunegala, Puttlam and Gampaha). It produces coconuts that are known to contain more nutrients due to the ideal soil, water and climate conditions. Finally, the flakes are slightly toasted to bring out that unmistaken wonderful flavour.
The Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes are ideal as a flavourful snack any time of the day. They will add nutrition as well as flavour to your film or late working nights, prolonged working hours, hikes in nature, long outings and even long traffic jams, among many other instances. Why are they so versatile? Simple, because they are so easy to use. They do not need any special storage conditions before being opened. Just make sure the place is dry and preferably out of direct sunlight. They take little space to store, so you can always drop a few packs into your briefcase, office bag, suitcase, backpack or car glove compartment. And what’s more, you can enjoy them just as they are.
But they have more uses than just being a nutritious and tasty snack. Mix them with your salad greens, muesli, trail mix, snack assortments, and nut mixtures. They will pleasantly surprise you with their crunchiness and texture as well. Sprinkle them on your oatmeal, porridges and other cereals to get that amazing tropical twist.
Toasted flakes can also be used in your baked desserts. Use them to add nuttiness and sweetness to your favourite Sunday treat. Or use them to enhance your fruit salads, to garnish your ice creams, yoghurts and even jelly.
Need something more substantial for a quick meal? Add them to your sandwiches regardless of whether it is just a peanut butter, exotic burger or healthy green sandwich made of whole grain bread or bun. Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes complement sweet and savoury flavours, giving each its enhancement in taste and texture.
If you are up to a gourmet challenge, add them to some of your soups and sauces, curries, and stews. Let your imagination and taste be the only limits to the way you can enjoy Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes.
Is there any nutritional value in the Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes?
If you are leading an active or very busy lifestyle, are a student or are in the training, you are most probably missing some much-needed nutrients in your diet. Or, perhaps, you can use an extra bit of some of those nutrients you just cannot find enough of to make up your daily requirements. The good news is that coconut meat is a good source of some vital nutrients that are important for your well-being. The serving size of 40 grams will provide you with 690 calories and the following nutrients:
- Fat
- Carbohydrates
- Dietary fibre
- Protein
- Natural sugars
- Potassium
- Sodium
- Calcium
- Iron
MCTs (medium-chain-triglycerides), such as lauric, caprylic, and capric acids, allow the fat contained in the Toasted Organic Coconut Flakes to be easily broken down in the liver. Because of this, it is a great source of quick energy. Which also makes them less prone to be stored as fat in the body, at the same time.
In addition, you can also find vitamins like C, E, riboflavin, and B6 in the coconut as well. More importantly, you don’t have to worry about cholesterol, trans fats or added sugar, as there are none in the coconut.
