More product information

Coconut flour by nature can be a ‘thirsty’ flour, meaning you may need to alter your liquid ratio in a given recipe where you are substituting regular flour for coconut flour.
As Sally-Ann so wisely put it:
Because coconut flour has no gluten, you will need to use plenty of eggs to make up for it – but who is complaining, eggs are one of the most perfect foods on the planet!  Coconut flour by nature is a “thirsty” flour so when you convert or create recipes, keep in mind that you cannot merely substitute this flour.
Coconut flour is also superb with almond flour – it makes delicious cakes and breads, pizzas and pancakes. For each cup of coconut flour you will need around 3-5 eggs.
For recipes with liquids, you’ll probably end up at least doubling the amount originally called for. To be safe though, start out with the original amount required, and add more as needed. Other than eggs, to help with binding, you could use sticky honey, ground flax seeds and guar or xanthan gum.
If you are allergic/sensitive to eggs, then 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds soaked in 3 tablespoons of water can replace 1 egg, and a little bit of guar or xanthan gum can add an extra binding element that mimics gluten, adding a stronger “bite texture” to baked goods.
Ways to use coconut flour are endless. You can use it to make a roux for gravy, add a tablespoon or two to smoothies and drinks for extra fibre, or sprinkle over different dishes for a garnish and coconut taste – just be imaginative.
