Product Description
Coconut flour is made from fresh organic coconut meat, which is first dried and defatted, then finely ground. Its texture is very similar to wheat flour. Use it to replace 15-25% of other flours in traditional recipes, and many dishes can also be made with 100% coconut flour. Coconut flour is low in carbohydrates, making it ideal for baking breads and pastries. It contains less digestible (net) carbohydrates than any other flour, including soy. It is a good source of protein, containing as much protein as wheat flour. Coconut flour is rich in fiber, containing 38.5% fiber, the highest proportion compared to other flours. Coconut flour is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those following a low-carb diet. Its use can be easily integrated into a weight loss program, as its high fiber content promotes a feeling of fullness. Another excellent way to use coconut flour is to increase your daily fiber intake with it. (1 tablespoon is equivalent to about 5 grams of fiber.) Important: coconut flakes and coconut flour are not the same. Its use can be easily integrated into a weight loss program, as its high fiber content promotes a feeling of fullness.
