Tropical Traditions Shredded Coconut



Contest is Closed.

I have been impressed with the Tropical Traditions products which I have tried so far. Their organic dried coconut is another winner! It's "100% natural Shredded Coconut made from organic dried coconuts in the Philippines that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides. It contains no additives or preservatives, is not sweetened, and is not treated with sulfites to keep it white."




As I grow more aware of the risks of using pesticides in my food, I appreciate the organic goodness of this coconut. Because the coconut is packaged in a pail it is easy to keep the coconut moist and fresh. I made Italian Cream cake as a treat. However, Tropical Traditions has all sorts of yummy, healthy coconut recipes. I've found a chocolate coconut smoothie I can't wait to try!


Buy It!
You can purchase Tropical Traditions Coconut online. Until July 25th you can buy the coconut for half price!
