I'll come right out and say that gluten free baking is a pain. We went gluten free about 2 years ago and about 75% of the baked goods recipes I have tried did not work out in texture or taste. Then I read somewhere about substituting coconut flour for up to 20% of the flour in regular recipes and wondered if it would work for gluten free. It does! It gives more lift to baked goods like muffins, and adds a slight nutty flavor. One thing to be aware of is that it is moisture happy. It soaks up liquid like kitty litter, so adding a little more water or oil or whatever liquid is in the recipe is helpful. It is also helpful to let the baked goods sit a day before consuming. I'm not sure why, but this has been the case with everything I have made. It tastes "eh" the first day, and fabulous the next.

This was the first coconut flour that I have ordered and it had good flavor and consistency. I would recommend ordering a recipe book if you have not worked with coconut flour before.

Exactly what you order, know that a little of this will go a long way though. Also, this type of coconut flour is dried from a lot of the fats and thus will soak up a ton of liquid as opposed to flour you make yourself from coconut flakes at home.

This is a quality product, but Amazon shipped me some with only 3 months left before expiration. Buy your coconut flour at Whole Foods until Amazon starts telling us the expiration date.

this flour is lumpy but sifts nicely. i keep it in the fridge and pull it out when i need to use some. i have made several receipes with it and it tastes great. it has a slight coconut taste but if you don't like coconut the taste is disguised when you use other ingredients.

Great flour! I found this one to have almost double the fat content but we got a great deal on it and the flour is just as good as any other brand I have tried. The flour is FLOUR (fine texture) and delicious!

The product arrived quickly. I love using coconut flour for cooking. I am especially excited to use this one. I can smell the deliciousness through the packaging!

I like the flavor of this flour. I do not however really know how to use it. It doesn't behave like I thought it would. I feel like I need a chemistry of baking class to understand it's properties. I do recognize that it cannot be a one to one substitution for wheat flour. The bread will fall apart. It does require additional liquid than regular flour to make a dough. Any suggestions on alternative flours and how to use them would be appreciated!

I have previously purchased several brands of coconut flour in local stores and this one, ordered from Amazon, is much better.
I used it in baking with excellent results.
I also used some in a custard that had not turned out well with a similar product but this one worked perfectly, producing a smooth silky texture with none of the graininess that marred my previous try.
I will definitely order this product again. Soon!
