This is a delicious gluten free, low glycemic alternative flour to wheat and other grain flours. Coconut flour is high in fiber, high in protein and low in digestible carbohydrates. A single 2 Tbsp serving of coconut flour delivers 5 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein and 8 grams of low glycemic carbs. This makes it ideal for all who wish to reduce their weight and improve digestive health.

Our Coconut Flour is made from fresh organic pared coconuts. The process begins with the removal of the oil in the cold-pressed manufacture of Virgin Coconut Oil producing partly defatted coconut flakes / cake. The coconut cakes are then dried and ground finely to produce our Coconut Flour. The resulting flour has between 16 to 20% protein, maximum 12% fat and between 40 to 50% dietary fiber.

The light coconut flavor allows coconut flour to blend seamlessly into sweet or savory baked goods. It makes a wonderful coating for chicken, fish or other proteins in place of regular flour or cornmeal. Because of its high fiber content, baking with coconut flour is a unique experience. Coconut flour requires slightly more liquid when cooking and is often used in an equal ratio of liquid to flour for best results. We recommend following a recipe designed for coconut flour when getting started. Many of these recipes for cakes and cookies will use additional eggs to improve the binding properties. Coconut Flour is excellent also when used in conjunction with other gluten free flours, such as from nuts, tapioca, sweet potato and so on.

First, make the icing sugar:

1 ½ cups Rainforest Herbs Organic Coconut Sugar
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder

Place the coconut sugar and arrowroot into your food processor. Place the lid on tightly. Start on low speed and gradually work your way up to the highest speed. It will take a few minutes to powder the sugar. Keep blending the sugar until it is all powdered and light brown in color.
