Raw coconut flour
Posted by: bluespixie ()

Hiya, bought a bag of this today.

Does anyone

... know how long it lasts once it's open?
... if there is a strong coconut flavour (or any flavour)?
... if it's sweet at all?

I have some ideas on how to use it (would like to use it as 'bulk' in a raw cake instead of coconut oil) but worried once I open the bag it might have a short shelf life as it's raw.

smiling smiley Thanks

blue pixie

why don't you put it in the fridge
in some airtight receptacle
It will retard that oxidation.

I THINK ITS FOR PEOPLE WITH GLUTEN INTOLERANCE MOSTLY. I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A RAW VEGAN THING. IS IT GOOD?

I GOT COCONUT POWDER ONCE FOR DAYS COMING, SOMEWHERE.

What coconut flour is to whole coconut is analogous to what white flour is to whole grains. Basically they are as nutritious as sawdust but can be useful to make faux food in recipes.

Hiya suez,

Even though it's billed as 100% raw? It's still devoid of the good stuff? That's a shame. I'll just use it to pad out raw cookies or something,

It says this on the website
(http://www.tiana-coconut.com/products/coconut-superfoods/gluten-free-coconut-flour/)

Extra fine, Premium quality
100% raw and suitable for raw diets
100% pure, free from sulphates
Highly nutritious, contains vitamins and minerals
Low G.I (Glycemic Index) food
High in dietary fibre (38.5% per 100%)
Low in carbohydrates (21% per 100g)
Good source of protein (17% per 100g)

It doesn't actually state what the vitamins and minerals are.

"Hiya suez,

Yes. Remember even sawdust can be labeled 100% raw.

It's been a while since you requested info on coconut flour. Have you used it in recipes yet? If so, did you find it wonderful in any particular way?

I made some raw truffles with them and have made non-raw pancakes. I don't know if I've overdone the coconut this past year but I found the taste a bit intrusive :/ The flour also made me feel a bit dehydrated too. I'm not sure I'd buy again, and if I did, I'd use it in smaller amounts smiling smiley
