Farinha de Coco, or coconut flour, is a versatile, gluten-free flour derived from dried coconut meat. Popular in tropical cuisines, its origins are tied to regions where coconuts thrive, such as Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Packed with key nutrients, coconut flour is high in fiber, offering support for digestive health and promoting satiety. It also contains healthy fats, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may aid in energy metabolism. Additionally, coconut flour boasts a low glycemic index, making it a suitable option for individuals managing blood sugar levels. While low in carbohydrates compared to wheat flour, it’s relatively calorie-dense due to its fat content, so portion control may be necessary for those mindful of caloric intake. Farinha de Coco’s mild coconut flavor lends itself well to baking, thickening sauces, or creating grain-free dishes, ensuring both nutritional benefits and culinary versatility.
