Coconut flour is a delicious alternative to wheat flour. Not only is it gluten-free, but it packs a punch with over 19% protein. Coconut flour is actually the fibrous part of the coconut that is leftover after most of the coconut oil is pressed out. The leftover meat is dried and then ground into a powder.

Coconut flour can be used in any way that wheat flour is used, only you don’t need to use nearly as much coconut flour. This is because the coconut flour is highly absorbent, and a little goes a long way to thicken soups, use in muffins, cakes or cookies. The taste is slightly sweet with hint of coconut flavor.

Specifically, the Tropical Traditions coconut flour is of excellent quality. Tropical Traditions is known for having high standards for their products, as well as a desire to use sustainable practices in their production. Notice how white the coconut flour is? The color is a testament to the quality of the coconuts that were used to make the flour.

Our favorite way to use coconut flour is in the Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake, a recipe on FreeCoconutRecipes.com. We topped the cake with a layer of ganache and sprinkled with coconut flakes. Everyone raved about the delicate coconut flavor combined with the bold chocolate flavor. It is certainly a winner and makes an extra special birthday cake.
