Organic Coconut Flour

Coconut Flour is made from fresh organic coconut meat. The meat is dried and defatted and then finely ground into a powder similar in consistency to wheat flour.  It is great as a low-carb, high-fibre, hypo allergenic, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour for baking and cooking.

It contains almost double the amount fibre found in wheat bran and as much protein as wheat flour.  Adding it to baked goods and smoothies will significantly raise fibre intake.

It is ideal for those who follow a low-carb eating plan, as it has fewer digestible (net) carbs than other flours, and even fewer than some vegetables, and its high fibre content promotes a feeling of fullness.

A variety of delicious baked goods can be made using 100% coconut flour, resulting in a heavier texture.

Cooking Tip: For baking, generally use a quarter to a third cup of coconut flour in place of other flours in most standard recipes.  You will also need to increase the amount of eggs used.  Every 1 cup of coconut flour requires approximately 6 beaten eggs.
