Costco Tropical Fields Crispy Coconut Rolls Review

Finding simple snacks that are both gluten-free and dairy-free can be tough, but the Tropical Fields Crispy Coconut Rolls from Costco are a sweet exception. Made in Thailand with real coconut milk, these light, crunchy treats are a delightful option for anyone following a vegan or gluten-free diet.

Location in Store

These are located in the snack section at Costco, near the Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzels and the Golden Island Korean Barbecue Pork Jerky. The item number is 1885015.

Taste

These are definitely unique and I think that’s part of the appeal and why people buy these. The taste and texture is very similar to a coconut flavored ice cream cone. There’s a strong, slightly sweet, nutty, toasted coconut flavor and when I say slightly sweet, I mean it.

Don’t expect a powerful punch of sweetness or super sugary roll. These are perfect for someone who prefers a snack that’s less sweet but still satisfying. The outside of the rolls have some sesame seeds but you can’t really distinctly taste them. The rolls aren’t amazingly tasty but they’re pretty good.

Due to the fact I like more decadent sweet foods I feel like these light, crisp, not overly flavorful rolls are more of a “side snack”. For example I could see placing these in a scoop of ice cream, or in freshly made chocolate mousse for decoration or even using them with fondue or dipping them in Nutella.

Cost

The 400-gram bag costs $12.49 Canadian, which isn’t cheap considering how light the rolls are. However, it’s not super expensive for a gluten-free, dairy-free sweet treat.

Convenience

Firstly, these are delicate and crumble easily. If you’re planning to bring the bag in a suitcase or on a road trip just be aware that it’s pretty easy to squish these and end up with tiny crumbs or even worse just crispy coconut roll powder.

The bag reseals and has a best before date that’s about 13 months from when I purchased them. The bag recommends storing them in a cool, dry place. These work as a snack or dessert alone or you could have them with ice cream, gelato or mousse!

Nutrition

Calories

Eight rolls contain 150 calories, six grams of fat, 24 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, nine grams of sugar, one gram of protein and 85 milligrams of sodium. That’s not bad at all for eight rolls, just a few of these leaves me satisfied.

Ingredients

The ingredients list is super short and sweet and the rolls are not only gluten-free but dairy-free as well! I have zero complaints about the ingredients in the rolls.

The Costco Tropical Fields Crispy Coconut Rolls didn’t completely excite my taste buds but I do appreciate the short ingredients list. I also like that they’re gluten and dairy-free and low in sugar. They’re a good, simple, slightly sweet snack.
