10 REASONS TO BAKE WITH COCONUT FLOUR
by dyjockers.com
I love to bake with coconut flour and I make bread, pastry and muffins with it. Coconut flour is not easy to bake with. You will need to add 1 egg per ounce for every 1/3 cup or 30g of coconut flour. If you want to substitute a wheat flour recipe with coconut flour, 1 cup or 120g of wheat flour would equal to 1/3 cup or 30g of coconut flour. It is nutritious and a low GI food. It is becoming more popular. You can also substitute other things made from coconut such as coconut milk, coconut butter, coconut sugar and coconut oil.
Coconut has been traditionally cultivated for its raw coconut meat, oil, milk, water and most recently for its flour. The Philippines is now the largest coconut producing country and was first to produce flour as a byproduct from its production of coconut milk. The growing demand for the use of natural, non-toxic plants as medicinal aids to prevent and treat illness has highlighted the various health benefits of consuming coconut products.
Many researchers now recommend the addition of coconut flour to supplement any healthy diet because of its many benefits including antibacterial and antifungal properties. Whether you are on a strict paleo diet, seeking an allergy free flour source or you simply desire to stimulate your digestive and immune system, coconut flour is an excellent addition to your meals and a pantry staple.
