Organic Coconut Flour

Organic coconut flour is a gluten-free flour made from dried, ground coconut meat. After the coconut milk and oil are extracted from the flesh, the remaining pulp is dried and milled into a fine powder. It is a byproduct of coconut oil production.

Coconut flour is used as a baking ingredient, often in gluten-free and grain-free recipes. Its high fiber content helps absorb moisture, making baked goods moist and dense. It is commonly found in pancake mixes, bread, muffins, cookies, and cakes.

Organic coconut flour is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of dietary fiber and can be a suitable alternative for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coconut oil, but specific evaluations for coconut flour are less common. High fiber intake can aid digestion, but excessive amounts may cause bloating or discomfort in some individuals.
