Coconut flour is made from dried and finely ground coconut flesh. It is a natural product obtained as a by-product of coconut milk and coconut oil production. After removing liquid and fat from the coconut meat, the remaining pulp is dried and milled into a fine flour. It has a mild coconut aroma and a slightly sweet taste.
Why Choose Coconut Flour?
Coconut flour is naturally gluten-free and can be consumed raw. It is valued for its high content of dietary fiber and plant protein, which together make up a significant part of its nutritional profile. Due to its low carbohydrate content, coconut flour is often chosen by people following balanced diets.
Its strong thickening properties mean that only a small amount is needed in recipes.
How to Use
Coconut flour can be added directly to smoothies or oatmeal. It is also suitable for baking when combined with other flours.
Due to its high absorbency and density, coconut flour is not recommended as a direct replacement for wheat flour. The best results are achieved by using it as about 15% of the total flour mix. This helps baked goods rise properly, enhances flavor, and lowers the overall glycaemic index of recipes.
Coconut flour works well in energy balls, banana bread, coatings, hot and cold desserts, milkshakes, sweet dumplings, and pancakes.
When using coconut flour, remember to add extra liquid and reduce the amount of sugar if needed.
