NUI COCONUT FLOUR -
add fibre, protein and flavour...
Coconut flour is made from ground coconut meat and is an excellent high-fibre, gluten free alternative to wheat. In fact it has the highest fibre content of any flour. The very low concentration of digestible carbohydrates in coconut flour makes it an excellent choice for those who must restrict their carbohydrate intake. Coconut flour can be used to make breads, cakes, pies, and other baked goods.
