virgin Coconut oil

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Coconut flour is a food-grade product produced from fresh coconut meat which is dried, defatted and finely grinded to produce the flour. It is a high-quality protein product that is processed at regulated temperature and pressure without any chemical treatment and preservatives. It has a low fat content of 10% and mesh size of 80. Coconut flour is cream-colored, has bland taste and less nutty odor due to its reduced fat content. The fatty acid content of coconut flour is mostly lauric (48.4%) and myristic acid (19.78%). Unlike wheat flour, coconut flour offers a good amount of essential amino acids.

* Enhances the flavour of most products (chocolate, vanilla etc.)
* Less nutty odor due to reduced oil content
* Improves the texture of baked products
* Reduced product cost, through added yield
* Increased water absorption capacity
* Volume enhancement
* Ideal for formulating supplemental feeding products
