a very good source of protein.It is 4 times more fiber than

main dishes. Breads made with our Certified Organic Raw Coconut flour are light and soft and have a wonderful taste and texture.
Adding Coconut Flour to Your Favorite Wheat Flour Recipe:
Because our Certified Organic Raw Coconut flour
is gluten free, it will not hold and will fall apart if you substitute
it 100%
for regular wheat flour in a recipe. However, you can substitute up to
15-20% of that flour with coconut flour in a regular wheat flour recipe.
Also, whatever
amount of coconut flour you use in your recipe, you need to increase the
liquid in your recipe
by that same measured amount. For example, if your recipe calls for 2
cups of wheat
flour, you could use 1 ½ cups of wheat flour, ½ cup of coconut flour,
and ½ cup
of additional liquid such as milk, water, or juice.
