Coconut Flour

Coconut flour is a finely ground flour made from dried, defatted coconut meat. It is a popular gluten-free alternative to conventional wheat flour. It is notable for its high fibre and protein content and a subtle coconut flavour. When baking, it absorbs significantly more liquid than regular flour, so it is used in smaller quantities. It works well in pancakes, muffins, cakes and as a thickener for sauces. It should be stored in a sealed container in a cool place.
