Coconut flour is made from ground coconut meat. Excess fat and moisture are removed before the grinding process. So it is a by-product of the production of coconut milk and oil. It is made in two ways: dry and wet. The former is higher in protein, is off-white in color and has a higher fat content. The wet flour is lighter in color, contains more fiber and less fat. Like wheat flour, coconut flour can be used in all kinds of sweet and savory pastries, cakes, cookies, desserts, breads and pies. Coconut flour-based baked goods are light and soft, with an intense coconut flavor and a light coconut aftertaste. This flour contains more fiber than wheat flour. It's as much as in whole wheat flours. It is extremely important in our diet as it regulates the digestive system. Due to the high fiber content, coconut flour absorbs water much better than other types of flour. Therefore, it cannot be the main ingredient of the dough. It is best to mix it with another type of flour. Such a procedure ensures that the obtained consistency of the dough is satisfactory and the pastry does not crumble after taking it out of the oven.
Coconut flour is primarily a source of valuable fiber. It is almost six times more than in conventional wheat flour. This product supplies our body with valuable protein. One hundred grams of flour covers 37% of your daily protein needs. Coconut flour is also a source of fatty acids and vitamins (including B vitamins, vitamins E and A). It is also a treasury of precious minerals. Among them we find iron, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium. In addition, coconut flour is a healthier alternative to grain flour due to its low carbohydrate content.
Coconut flour is a healthier alternative to grain flour. A high fiber content accelerates metabolism, and a small amount of carbohydrates makes it especially recommended for people who value a slim figure. Thanks to the fiber content, regular consumption of products with added coconut flour helps maintain proper cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Thus, it may be important in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

APPLICATION
First of all, coconut flour is used for various types of baking. However, it should be used in conjunction with other cereal flours. It's pretty hard. Due to the fact that coconut flour does not contain gluten, baked goods with its addition become very fragile. More eggs should be added to the batter to get the right texture. It has a positive effect on the structure and good moisture content of baked goods. It is also used as an additive to cocktails, breadcrumbs, pancakes, muesli, buns, fruit salads and yoghurts. Based on coconut flour we prepare a delicious omelette, pancakes and cakes. It is also used to thicken soups and sauces. This product absorbs more liquid than ordinary wheat flour, so you should increase the amount of water in the dish according to the recipe.
To be on the safe side, we would like to point out that products containing gluten are packed in-house.
