coconut flour is a natural byproduct of coconut milk production. Like wheat flour, coconut flour is a white or off-white flour commonly used in baking. It has a soft, powdery texture and white color, as well as a distinct flavor and aroma of coconut.
Coconut flour, on the other hand, is a starch-free food, though it does contain carbohydrates and fiber. Coconuts are a type of fruit called drupes. Other drupes include mangos, apricots, cherries, olives, and peaches. The "meat" of the coconut is the endocarp of the fruit, which is analogous to the fleshy segments of an orange, or the fibrous part of an apple at its core.
