Raw Coconut Flakes 1kg

Coconut Flakes

Raw Coconut Flakes are a brilliantly versatile way to bring the naturally sweet, creamy flavour of coconut and a satisfying bite to everyday recipes. Made from coconut flesh cut into generous flakes, they have a more substantial texture than desiccated coconut, making them particularly good when you want coconut to remain noticeable in the finished dish.

Use raw coconut flakes straight from the pack for adding texture to granola, porridge, smoothie bowls and overnight oats, or toast them until lightly golden for a deeper, nuttier coconut flavour. They work just as well in baking, from cookies and flapjacks to cakes and traybakes, and can also bring a welcome contrast to savoury dishes such as curries, rice bowls and fresh salads.

Key Features:

• Generous 1kg pack for regular use and larger-batch recipes.
• Larger pieces provide more bite than finely shredded coconut.
• Can be enjoyed raw or cooked depending on the required finish.
• Easy to portion for both individual servings and larger recipes.
• A useful pantry ingredient for sweet and savoury cooking.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Make toasted coconut granola by combining coconut flakes with rolled oats, nuts, seeds and maple syrup, then baking until crisp and golden.
• Bake coconut and dark chocolate cookies, folding the flakes through the dough so you get chewy pieces of coconut alongside pockets of melted chocolate.
• Finish a fragrant coconut curry with lightly toasted flakes for extra crunch against the creamy sauce.
• Make tropical overnight oats with coconut flakes, mango and passion fruit for a fresh, fruity breakfast with plenty of texture.

Why should you toast coconut flakes before using them?

Toasting encourages the natural sugars in coconut to brown, creating a deeper, nuttier flavour and a noticeably crisper texture. Keep an eye on them as they toast, as coconut can turn from golden to overly browned quite quickly.

Can coconut flakes be blended into smaller pieces?

Yes. Coconut flakes can be briefly pulsed in a food processor when a recipe calls for a finer texture. This is useful when you want some coconut texture without the larger pieces found in whole flakes.

Why are coconut flakes popular in homemade granola?

Their larger shape works particularly well in granola because the pieces develop crisp, toasted edges during baking. Adding them partway through the cooking time can also help prevent the coconut becoming too dark before the oats are ready.
