Kokosmjöl

Kokosmjöl is a gluten-free flour made from dried, ground coconut meat. It is produced by pressing the oil out of fresh coconut and then drying and grinding the remaining pulp. This process results in a fine powder that is highly absorbent and rich in dietary fiber.

Due to its high fiber content, kokosmjöl absorbs significantly more liquid than traditional flours like wheat or almond flour. When used in baking, recipes typically require a much smaller amount of kokosmjöl, often supplemented with additional eggs or liquids to achieve the desired consistency. It can impart a subtle coconut flavor to dishes.

Kokosmjöl is a popular ingredient in low-carbohydrate, ketogenic, and paleo diets due to its low net carbohydrate count. It is also a good source of healthy fats and some minerals. It can be used in a variety of recipes, including pancakes, muffins, bread, and as a thickener for sauces and smoothies. When substituting it for other flours, it is important to adjust liquid and egg ratios accordingly, as direct substitution can lead to dry or crumbly results.
