Coconut flour

Coconut flour

Coconut flour is a type of flour made from blended coconut flesh that is cold pressed then dried. It is commonly used in making pastry.

Coconut flour, like other coconut products is mostly saturated fat (lauric acid). It has some fiber.

Coconut flour has also been used in baking foods for low-carbohydrate diets. Items baked with coconut flour are usually calorie-heavy.

Coconut flour usually spoils at slower rate than other fatty flours.
