Our Coconut Flour is made differently.
We start with wild coconuts. The coconut is removed from the shells, and washed in pure, filtered water (no chlorine is present). The coconut is slowly dehydrated at 98.6° F (37° C) and then ground. The result is powdered, raw coconut that tastes great, has a wonderful texture, and contains the nutrients found in coconut.
Here are some of the benefits of coconut flour:
Nutrient-dense: Coconut flour is packed with essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins (such as vitamin C, E, B vitamins), and minerals (such as potassium, manganese, copper, and iron). These nutrients are important for overall health and well-being.
Healthy fats: Coconut flour contains healthy fats, primarily in the form of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are easily digestible and quickly metabolized by the body, providing a readily available source of energy. They are also believed to support weight management and improve satiety.
Dietary fiber: Coconut flour is a good source of dietary fiber, which is beneficial for digestion and gut health. Fiber helps promote regular bowel movements, prevents constipation, and supports a healthy gut microbiome.
Antioxidant properties: Coconut flour contains antioxidants, such as phenolic compounds, which help protect the body against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Antioxidants play a role in reducing inflammation and preventing cellular damage, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases.
