Trader Joe's Shredded Sweetened Coconut
Let's conclude our second Coconut Week with some actual coconut!
Face it: you already know whether you want this or not. If you like coconut, you'll want to have some around. If you don't, you won't. It's about that simple.
I have eaten some of this straight from the package: good, but quickly tiring.
I have tried sprinkling it on fruit medleys (thawed from the freezer): excellent enhancement.
I have used it as a topping on Key lime pie: a perfect pairing.
I have put a little on some applesauce: the combination seemed a little off.
I added some to a bowl of TJ's strawberry coconut-based ice cream: yummy.
I even got a little crazy and threw some into a green salad with a few dried cranberries, on the theory that the sweet and tart would sort of cancel each other out: I cannot recommend this.
I would love to try some of it on pancakes, with a fruity syrup, but haven't yet.
Potential uses are limited only by your imagination.
Will I buy it again?
I think it's going to become a staple that I keep around all the time.
