5.0 out of 5 stars great snack
I found this product many years ago, but could not find it until now. Everyone I shared with loved it. Really gooc.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love them
Healthy snack! I washed the sugar from it and drained then kept in the fridge.
5.0 out of 5 stars Turn it into real Young Coconut by soaking it in water.
Due to the excess sugar, hyrophylic additive and silica bags. This is not TRUE young coconut. It is a hard coconut flavored plastic that causes a slight nauseating reaction to some people when you smell it after opening.Personally it was yucky for me. My wife can only eat about 3 pieces due to it's excessive sweetness.This is not how Young Coconut is suppose to be. Young coconut is soft, supple, crunchy and jelly like. What is missing when you open the bag is water. Lots of water.So, for every 1/2 cup you pull out of the bag. Soak that coconut in 4 cups of cold water in the fridge. Pour off the water and repeat the process 3 times over 12 hours. Not only do you get rid of the excess sugar, you leach off the hydrophilic chemical and that odd weird smell.You all also leach off excess oil. This may be a good thing for some people. After 12 hours you have a Young Coconut again. It is not as the good as freshly cut and eaten, but it is very close.Now my wife eats most of the rehydrated coconut after the 12 hour cold water bath and I have to make more if I want to cook with it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Healthy-ish; best consumed frozen; wash/dry to remove added sugar
Hands-down, this is THE BEST coconut product I've ever enjoyed. The chips are thick, chewy, sweet, and dried just-the-right-amount. I wish the price weren't as high as its been in recent years, but COSTCO no longer carries this locally.TEXTURE: moderately soft and chewy out of the bag (room temp), but you can freeze the entire bag to make it even more delightful. Freezing will help with the "excessive moistness/softness" that some reviewers have mentioned. I would not equate its toughness to "shoe leather" as some have said, but closer really chewy caramel. This is the difference is: *RAW YOUNG COCONUT* meat is super soft/tender and chews like warm butter vs. *RAW RIPE (ADULT) COCONUT* meat that is crispy/crunchy without drying.Side note: I do enjoy 'shoe-leather' beef jerky, so this 'dried' coconut meat seems tender to me.SWEETNESS: it's very sweet - if you like that sort of thing - due to the added sugar, which accounts for 43% of the mass (18g/42g per serving). The added sugar is why I say *healthy-ISH* and rated 4 stars. I've resorted to washing off the excess sugar and partially oven-drying (see below) now that I need to monitor sugar-intake. *YOUNG* coconut meat is semi-sweet (enough) and super-tender right out of the coconut. Someone mentioned that is a "sugar-dried" coconut, which is probably somewhat correct, and the excess sugar really isn't needed.Suggestions for people's complaints about the product:A) "It comes as a clump inside the bag."'Massage' the package prior to opening. Freezing will prevent 're-clumping.' The product is supposed to be refrigerated after opening anyway.B) "I don't like how soft/moist it is."Place the bag in the freezer to firm-up the texture, which makes it a great cold treat! Or: you could try a variation of the process below.C) "I don't like the sweetness/sugar/syrupy-coating."Wash-off the sugar and oven-dry using the following (covoluted) process, or just crack your own young coconuts and scoop the meat out (since the following may seem self-defeating).0) Preheat oven to 175 deg Fahrenheit; your oven temperature may require experimentation. Place oven rack just below/at middle-height.1) Prior to opening bag, perform 'deep-tissue massage' to break-up any clumps.2) Open bag and pour contents into strainer/colander; wash+dry inside of bag to remove remaining sugar.3) Place colander+chips under warm running water and toss/massage the chips; prevent water from pooling in the colander. Don't wash for more than a minute-and-a-half because the chips will absorb A LOT of water and affect drying process. (Everything gets syrupy-slimy at first, but keep washing until less slimy.)4) Spread the chips out onto a clean cookie sheet/pan. I've found the following unnecessary, but if you like: lightly oil the pan, or use a waxed baking sheet.5) Time/location/iterations of the following may require experimentation with your oven; monitor texture as you go!5a) Place pan on previously-specified rack inside of pre-heated oven.5b) Let sit for 10 minutes.5c) Remove pan/sheet and stir up the chips to flip/spread them out.5d) Place back in oven for another 10 minutes.5e) Check texture with fingers and/or by taste-sampling.5f) The job is usually done at this point, but you may need a 'third round' or just keep going until you find the right texture for you.6) Remove pan and allow to cool.7) Place chips bag into the bag, then into freezer.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good snack.

1.0 out of 5 stars great value for size but chemically and strange product
the one thing i'll say is it was a great value...but otherwise, sorry. this isn't it for mei was loojing for sweetened, dried coconut chunks like the ones they sell at cvs and elsewhere, specifically the chunks not the chips - the ones that are sorta hard but somehow also soft, and almost stale but in a good way, that are very much just dried coconut with sugar. when you dry coconuts using a dehydrator you get this same effect but its hard to come across coconuts and even so, cutting them up is a pain.anyway - whatever you are expecting, its not that. they have a chemically smell/taste, strange soft texture (and not in the way you'd expect for dried, candied fruits). i thought it maybe just wasn't fully dried so i threw it in my dehdrator but it didnt even dry further. likely becuase of the preservatives.i think 'young coconut' is something specific that might be a different type of experience in generalall in all - the preservatives make it pretty gross in general. and the sulfur smells. just not appetizing :(
3.0 out of 5 stars It is hard, not a young coconut.
While the sugar level is good, not too sweet, the coconut is hard to chew. I thought it is a young coconut or at least it is not that hard to choose. To make it a snack, they need to use the younger coconut flesh.
