Coconut flour is made from the meat of fresh coconuts, after it's been pressed to make coconut milk and most of the oil has been extracted.
The dried meat is then grated, resulting in a fine powder-like texture similar to grain flours. It has a mildly sweet coconut flavor that will not overwhelm your recipes, but rather will impart a rich texture and natural sweetness.
In addition to its wonderful flavor, coconut flour is rich in nutrition. It has the highest percentage of dietary fiber of any flour (48 percent), and it's also a good source of protein while being very low in carbohydrates.
