Description

Organic Coconut Flour is a source of protein, fibre and fat.

Organic coconut flour has become a popular alternative to traditional wheat flours as it is naturally gluten free.  It is high in fibre and a source of iron.

This tasty organic coconut flour is ground down from the dried flesh of the coconut so is rich in nutrients. The organic coconut kernels are crushed and then dried at less than 60c and then the oil is released via cold pressing. The remaining coconut is then ground down in to a fine powder.

Organic flour can be used in breads, cakes and pancakes for a gluten free alternative to traditional wheat based flours and works well combined with other flours such as tigernut flour, almond flour or buckwheat flour.

Coconut flour is nutrient rich alternative for people with allergies or simply those wanting to add some variety in their cooking.  Take a look at our family tips for some ideas on how to bake with coconut flour.
