The secret behind our coconut chips
Origin project in Burkina Faso
Much more than just a product: we look for partners around the world for the special taste of Farmer's Snack products and promote the development of the region with our origin projects. Just as resource-conserving cultivation and harvesting are important to us, a corresponding social commitment to local employees as part of our origin projects is a matter of course.
We discovered our coconut chips in Burkina Faso. Crispy and aromatic, harvested by hand and so incomparably delicious. Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, with the majority of the population living from fruit and vegetable cultivation. That's why we focus on improving production processes, training specialist staff, improving know-how and sustainable management with our work on the ground. This creates and maintains vital jobs in the West African country in the long term.
How are coconut chips made?
It takes twelve to fifteen months for a coconut to ripen. A coconut palm tree bears up to 80 of them per year. It can happen that coconuts with different degrees of ripeness hang on one and the same tree, as the ripening period is all year round. When they are ready, the ripe fruits fall to the ground on their own. The rest is harvested by hand.
Once all the coconuts have been successfully harvested, it's time to get to the heart of the fruit: the flesh. First, however, they have to be freed from their thick shells - a sharp knife is used to get to the core. The flesh is carefully removed, washed and sliced into wafer-thin strips. The coconut strips are then soaked in a coconut milk mixture - our strictly traditional recipe ensures the wonderfully intense coconut flavor. The coconut chips then get their crunchy bite from the gentle drying process. Our coconut chips then end up in the bag so crunchy and delicious.
