kookosemahl

Kookosemahl, also known as coconut flour, is a gluten-free and grain-free flour made from dried and ground coconut meat. It is produced as a byproduct of coconut milk extraction. The process involves drying the leftover coconut pulp and then grinding it into a fine powder.

This flour is highly absorbent due to its significant fiber content, meaning that recipes often require more liquid or eggs compared to traditional wheat flour. Kookosemahl is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and healthy fats. It is also relatively low in carbohydrates, making it a popular choice for those following low-carb, ketogenic, or paleo diets.

Kookosemahl has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a fine texture. It can be used in a variety of baking applications, including cakes, cookies, muffins, and bread. Due to its unique properties, it is often combined with other flours or used in specific recipes formulated for coconut flour. Its absorbency can also lead to denser baked goods if not properly balanced with other ingredients. Coconut flour is widely available in health food stores and larger supermarkets.
