Trader Joe's thinks you'll go nuts for its new Organic Coconut Crunchy Clusters.
Made for the grocery store brand by a supplier in Sri Lanka, the new Organic Coconut Crunchy Clusters deliver a mellow, distinctly coconutty flavor, as well as a satisfying crunch. Each cluster is made from a mix of organic toasted Coconut chips, nutty sunflower seeds, earthy pumpkin seeds, and mild chia, all tossed in a sticky combination of cane sugar and rice syrup, which holds the ingredients together.
While delicious right out of the bag, Trader Joe's Organic Coconut Crunchy Clusters are also surprisingly versatile. They make a great substitute for granola when served over thick Greek yogurt, or a tasty, crunchy element when added to a bowl of French vanilla ice cream.
