Tropical Traditions, the producer of Virgin coconut Oil, is going to introduce organic coconut flour to the US market, imported straight from its birthplace, Philippines. Research says that organic coconut flour extracted from the residue of Virgin coconut oil is rich in dietary fibers and a better substitute to the gluten-based grain.
The prospects of its ‘consumer acceptability’ is more than that of the wheat products as the Company claims that the fiber content of coconut flour is proportionately more than wheat and its glutinous counterparts. The company has already developed recipes for the application of coconut flour in the most consumed baked foods and protein drinks to make it a vital ingredient in the future.
Though the coconut flour will prove to be cost-effective for the food manufacturers, yet it all depends on the kind of flavor, texture and shelf-stability that coconut-flour will impart to the baked foods, leading the consumers to go coco-nutty over the food products again.
