Truefood Organic Coconut Flour 400g
N$54.70Organic Coconut Flour
Truefood Coconut Flour is organic and milled from fresh coconuts, popular with Paleo and Banting diets as a gluten free alternative to wheat. Coconut flour is made from ground, dried coconut meat and has numerous nutritional advantages.
Unlike wheat, coconut flour has some important nutrients like iron, manganese and copper as well as small amounts of phytonutrients. It contains inulin, a prebiotic that is beneficial for good gut bacteria.
With low sugar and a low GI, diabetics can safely use coconut flour as it does not cause blood sugar spikes and maintains the overall glycemic index of food.
High in fiber coconut flour lowers cholesterol and can aid in digestion as well as remove toxins from the digestive tract. The insoluble fiber in coconut flour assists with colon health and can aid against constipation. Coconut flour also supports a healthy metabolism and the MCT’s in coconuts have shown to aid in weight loss and reduce waist lines, further to being antimicrobial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.
Suggested use:
Use in baking to make pancakes, pie crusts, cookies and brownies as a healthy, gluten-free, grain-free and low-carbohydrate alternative to white flower. Use raw to add to smoothies for a fiber boost and natural thickener.
