Tropical Traditions GIVEAWAY!! CLOSED

 This giveaway is now CLOSED! There were 620 entries for this one and I used random.org to choose a winner. Congratulations to Tes283 for winning!


Over the past couple weeks I have had the chance to try out some amazingly yummy Organic Coconut Cream Concentrate from Tropical Traditions.

Coconut Cream Concentrate is certified organic whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It contains no additives* (not even water). The dried coconut meat is ground into a very fine powder, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high fat content. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil.

I have never tried Coconut Cream Concentrate before and at first I wasn't sure what to do with it but I found a ton of different recipes at www.FreeCoconutRecipes.com . You can use Coconut Cream Concentrate in tons of different ways but I think my personal favourite is using it in smoothies. I found a recipe for Coconut Cream Hot Chocolate... oh it was soooo very yummy! But honestly I enjoy eating it straight out of the jar too! Seriously, it is just so good.

Tropical Traditions has some really great information on their site and I found this description of what makes Coconut Cream Concentrate different from canned coconut milks and creams...

Commercial coconut milks and creams are generally sold in cans, or sometimes boxes and tetra packs. The main ingredient in these products is water. If the fat content is 17%, it is called "coconut milk." If the fat content is 24%, it is called "coconut cream." But most of what you are purchasing is water. Coconut Cream Concentrate, on the other hand, has NO water, and is pure coconut. Unlike the commercial varieties, it also contains ALL the fiber of the coconut. Pure, dried coconut contains more fiber per gram than even oat bran! This fiber has been stripped out of commercial coconut milks and coconut creams. Also, almost all commercial coconut milks and creams have additives to prevent the water from separating from the coconut oil, and also have sulfites added to keep it white longer. Sometimes these additives are so small, that the FDA does not require them to list them on their labels as ingredients. Coconut Cream Concentrate, however, contains NO additives and NO preservatives at all: it is 100% natural coconut made from certified organic Philippine coconuts grown without pesticides or fertilizers.

 And best of all? It tastes amazing.

If you enjoy coconut than this is definitely the product for you!

Thanks so much to Tropical Traditions for sending me a free sample of this product and for sponsoring this giveaway.
