Description

Co Gai Viet Nam Sliced Coconut Candy (7 oz) is a traditional Vietnamese sweet made from strips of coconut cooked with sugar until they turn glossy, chewy and sweet. Unlike the soft block-style keo dua from Ben Tre, this sliced version keeps the fibre and bite of the coconut meat, so it is chewier and more fragrant with each piece. The 7 oz bag is a familiar sight on Lunar New Year snack trays.

How to enjoy / Cach dung

Eat straight from the bag, a few strips at a time. Coconut candy is a classic partner for hot tea – the tannin balances the sugar and the coconut aroma opens up. It is also a fixture on the khay mut tray at Lunar New Year alongside candied ginger, kumquat and lotus seed, and it makes a nice small gift to bring to a family gathering.

Storage / Bao quan

Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, close tightly or transfer to an airtight container; in warm or humid weather refrigerating helps keep the strips from sticking together.
