1 Organic Coconut Flour – 2.2 lbs.
I can’t say enough great things about this coconut flour – seriously… this is the key ingredient in so many of my favorite recipes from Primal Blueprint and the lynchpin in so many of my own variants and originals. I’ve tried other brands of coconut flour and have only been disappointed, sorry, Bob’s Red Mill, still love you guys but your coconut flour is vastly inferior to the Tropical Traditions product. The flour (one ingredient: organic dried coconut) is milled extremely fine, flows easily and most importantly does NOT clump up. I don’t like to have extraneous kitchen gear lying around taking up space (micro kitchen here) and those flour sifters are just annoying anyway. The Tropical Traditions flour is made and packaged in such a way that it comes out of the bag ready to go. Bob’s…. well… I had to mash up the clumps with a fork then hope for the best – worked out ok and the recipe was fine, but the process was a little annoying.
Speaking of annoying… the Tropical Traditions coconut flour comes in a somewhat tight fitting, very thin, heat sealed poly bag inside a slightly thicker tight fitting heat sealed poly bag. One bad move with something sharp and you’ve got a leak of precious delicious and now possibly unusable coconut flour on the countertop/floor/etc. Do yourself a huge favor and either place the whole thing in a tight sealing plastic or glass container or do what I do, once opened, put the whole business inside a 1 gallon ziplock freezer bag – this completely solves the awkward packaging issue.
And when you look at the Nutrition Facts label, you WILL have a “HUH?! WHAT?!?!” moment – but then look back at the amount you use in your recipe…. do the math – no biggie.
Great stuff for people following Primal, Paleo, Low Carb or Gluten Free diets.
