Coconut flour

Coconut flour is the dried, defatted meat of the coconut (Cocos nucifera) ground to a soft, pale, powdery flour. A by-product of coconut-oil and coconut-milk making, it is naturally gluten-free, faintly sweet and remarkably thirsty — very high in fibre and protein — and has become a staple of keto, paleo and grain-free baking as well as a long-standing thickener in South and Southeast Asian kitchens.
