Organic Coconut Flour

Coconut flour is a soft flour made from the flesh of the coconut. It is a natural by-product in the process of making coconut milk. After extracting the milk, the resulting pulp is dried at a low temperature and then ground into a very fine powder with an appearance similar to that of wheat flour, and the smell of coconut.

Perhaps its most peculiar characteristic is the surprising way it absorbs liquids, and in this it is unlike any other flour. It's like a powdery sponge, capable of absorbing an impressive amount of eggs, oil, and other
liquid ingredients.

This flour is very popular among people who have eliminated grains from their diet (paleo, primal, GAPS, SCD, etc.) and offers us a gluten-free, protein-rich alternative to traditional grain-based flours and in fibers and low in carbohydrates.
