Coconut Flour: The Gluten-Free Protein Rich Flour That Can Be Made At Home

Health : Coconut is one of the most nutritious foods out there and a number of products of this fruit are used in cooking. This includes coconut oil, coconut milk, as well as the new gluten-free, grain-free and keto-friendly flour - coconut flour. With the rise of the ketogenic diet, a number of recipes are using coconut flour instead of refined flour or whole wheat flour, eliminating the carbohydrates of grains and substituting it with proteins and fibre in coconut flour. However, cooking with coconut flour can be tricky; the consistency obtained from this ingredient is not quite the same as the one obtained with grain flours. Moreover, coconut flour is more expensive than regular grain flours and less abundant, when it comes to availability in grocery stores and supermarkets. But, the good news is, it can be easily prepared at home, making it easier for you to incorporate it in your diet.
