Coconut Chips

Coconut chips, AKA coconut flakes, are packed with so much flavor. You can add them to baked goods, granola, and savory things like this coconut gremolata we posted. Just sayin. You can find them in the baking or nuts section at the store or buy them online.

Farro

Halloumi

Halloumi has a chewy, squeaky texture and can be fried or grilled without losing its shape. Words cannot express how amazing this cheese is – it can be a bit pricey, but it’s so so worth it. It’s the cheapest at Trader Joe’s or you can buy it online.

Matcha Powder

Watermelon Radishes

These radishes may look #basic on the outside, but slice one open to find a gorgeous pink interior and green rim. They have a mild peppery flavor and make anything photo-worthy. They can be found at farmer’s markets (or your grocery store if you’re lucky) and are in season fall through spring.
