Coconut flour

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coconut flour

Coconut flour is a type of flour made from blended coconut flesh that is cold pressed then dried.[1] It is commonly used in making pastry.

Coconut flour, like other coconut products is mostly saturated fat (lauric acid). It has some fiber.[2]

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.[3]
