Organic Certified Coconut Flour
Coconut Flour is made from fresh coconut meat. The meat is dried and defatted
and then finely grounded into a powder very similar in consistency to wheat flour.
Coconut flour is high in dietary fiber and protein, and is gluten-free. It has more
fiber than gluten-based grains. It can be added to standard wheat-based recipes
to add extra fiber, by substituting 10-20% of the grain-based flour with coconut
flour. Some recipes, such as muffins and quick breads, can be accomplished with
coconut flour and therefore be 100% gluten-free. Since coconut flour contains
natural sugar from the coconut meat, baked goods need less sugar added. The
organic coconut flour has a mildly sweet coconut taste.
Coconut Flour, the low-carb, high in fiber content, good source of protein, gluten-
free alternative to wheat flour for baking and cooking.
Coconut Flour is ideal for baking low-carb breads and baked goods. It has fewer
digestible (net) carbs than any other flour, including soy. It has fewer digestible
carbs than most vegetables.
Coconut Flour is a good source of protein. It has as much protein as wheat flour
but it has none of the specific protein in wheat called gluten. This is an advantage
for a growing percentage of the population that have developed an allergy to
gluten or a wheat sensitivity.
Coconut Flour is high in fiber. It contains 61% fiber the highest percentage of
dietary fiber found in any flour (wheat bran is 27% fiber). Coconut flour contains 4
times as much fiber as soy flour.
Coconut Flour is gluten-free and hypoallergenic. It is ideal for those who follow a
low – carb eating plan. It works well as part of a weight loss program because it’s
high fiber content helps provide a feeling of satiety.
