Luckily, not only are we huge fans of our coconut chips, but our customers are too! But how do you actually recognize good coconut chips?

• 100% coconut The ingredient list should be short – very short. It's best to just say the word coconut, because the best coconut chips don't need anything else (added sugar, flavors or oils).
• Consistency Roasted nut chips should be really crunchy. If you notice that the chips are rather soft or chewy, either the chips are not good or you have stored them incorrectly.
• Perfect roasting The chips must not be roasted too hot, otherwise the taste will suffer. Ideally, the toasted chips should be golden brown and have no dark spots.
• Odor Your crispies should smell fresh, slightly nutty and a little sweet. If they smell rancid or old, that's a bad sign.
• Origin Organic coconut chips are of course best, but it's even better if the chips come from a sustainable and social brand.

Coconut crispies should look and taste exactly as you imagine them. And as a manufacturer, we make sure to produce the highest possible quality product without added sugar and with the best quality features.

Expert tip: It's best to store Vetains chips in an airtight container so that they stay crisp and fresh.

How are chips made from a coconut? This is easier than you might think!

1. First, of course, the coconuts have to be harvested - these are usually grown in the tropics.
2. The hard outer shell is then removed and the white “pulp” can be removed from the coconut.
3. This coconut meat is then cut into wafer-thin slices.
4. Now the coconut has to be turned into chips: the thin slices are either dried or roasted.
5. After heating, the coconut crispies are allowed to cool down and are then packed airtight.

Incredibly delicious and crunchy coconut chips are now ready. It sounds so easy that you could actually do it yourself. However, since we don't have any coconut palms growing on the side of the road, many people prefer to use ready-made chips.

Let's go back to the dried vs. roasted comparison:

• Dried Coconut chips: The coconut is dried gently (i.e. at relatively low temperatures). This means that heat-sensitive nutrients are well preserved, but the chips are often more chewy than crispy. Dried coconut has a very mild taste.
• Roasted Coconut chips: The coconut meat is roasted at high temperatures. This can destroy some heat-sensitive nutrients, but they are super crispy and crunchy. Nut chips that are roasted taste very intense and really aromatic.

At Vetain we love our coconut chips toasted because we can't get enough of this incomparable crunch.

As already explained, the nut chips contain many different nutrients that are needed in our body for different processes. However, many people don't think directly about the nutrients, but rather about the Fat content of nuts. And there's actually something to that! Because coconut chips contain about 65g of fat per 100g. But before you gasp, we need to clarify one thing: <tc>Fat</tc> They are not inherently bad! Quite the opposite: they are among the three macronutrients and thus form an important basis of our diet. Problems arise when... <tc>Fat</tc> Only if you eat too many of them. But that's less likely to happen with nut crisps – after all, who eats a whole pack a day? Our portion size is perfect on top of porridge. & That fits, it's 30g. This contains about 20g of fat. That's roughly equivalent to a handful of nuts. That doesn't sound so scary anymore, does it? Oh, by the way: Because of the <tc>Fat</tc> The coconut chips also contain Calories – and not exactly a little: just under 670 kcal/100 g. But the same applies here: very few of us will eat 100 g of dried coconut in one go and calories are ultimately just energy for your body. As long as you eat consciously, calories aren't a problem either. So please don’t let the coconut chips nutritional values ​​unsettle you.
