Crunchy coconut,
plain or salted.
The short answer: Born's dried coconut is organic coconut flakes, crunchy with no added oil. The plain one has a single ingredient, coconut; the salted one is coconut (99 %) with sea salt (1 %), for anyone searching for coconut and salt or "coconut salt". It keeps for up to 12 months without a fridge.
Plain, salted or with nectar.
Softly crunchy, clean flavour: coconut first, then the salt if there is any.
What it is. Whole flakes of organic dried coconut, with no added oil. It is not desiccated coconut: these are flakes that crunch, and if you need it grated, a quick chop does it. Born sells it as dried coconut, not freeze-dried.
Salted and with nectar. The salted one contains organic coconut (99 %) and sea salt (1 %): a sweet and salty contrast, not a salt for seasoning. The nectar one contains coconut (80 %) and coconut nectar (20 %), and is the sweetest in the range.
Ingredient: coconut. No added sugars; contains naturally occurring sugars.

What people usually ask.
What is "coconut salt"?+
What Born sells for that search is coconut with salt: organic coconut flakes (99 %) with sea salt (1 %), with no added oil. It is not a salt for seasoning, it is a crunchy snack with a salty touch.
Is it plain coconut, with a single ingredient?+
The plain one, yes: the only ingredient is organic coconut and there is no added oil. It contains naturally occurring sugars: 6.0 g per 100 g.
Is it freeze-dried coconut?+
No. Born sells it as dried coconut flakes. It is crunchy, not soft like the mango or the pineapple.
What is coconut nectar?+
A sweetener made from the sap of the coconut palm flower. It brings sugars and a toasty aroma, which is why the coconut with nectar is the sweetest in the range.
Does it need a fridge?+
No. Keep it somewhere cool and dry. Unopened, it lasts up to 12 months.
When will it arrive?+
In 48 to 72 working hours. Delivery is free on orders over €45.
It is high in saturated fat: 59.3 g per 100 g. Better as a topping or a portion than by the handful.
May contain traces of nuts and peanuts.
Close the bag well and keep it in the same cool, dry place.
