Coconut Flour is a low
carb flour. It is ideal for baking low – carb breads and baked goods. It has fewer digestible (net) carbs than any other flour, including soy! It even has fewer digestible carbs than most vegetables.
-
Coconut Flour is a good source of protein. It has as much protein as wheat flour but it has none of the specific protein in wheat called "gluten". This is an advantage for a growing percentage of the population that have developed an allergy to gluten or a wheat sensitivity.
-
Coconut Flour is high in fibre. It contains 38.5% fibre which is the highest percentage of dietary fibre found in any flour (wheat bran is 27% fibre). Coconut flour contains almost 3 times as much fibre as soy flour.
-
Coconut Flour can be used to make breads, cakes, pies, and other baked goods. Use 15-25% in place of other flours in most standard recipes. A variety of delicious baked goods can also be made using 100% coconut flour.

Coconut Flour is gluten-free and hypoallergenic.
It is ideal for those who follow a low – carb eating plan. It works well as part of a weight loss program because it’s high fibre content helps provide a feeling of satiety.

What makes our oil special?
Gourmet Quality Flavour
Our own Direct Micro Expelling (DME®) process takes less than an hour to turn selected mature coconuts into delicious hand-pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. This Australian technology is the quickest process in the world and along with our strict quality controls locks in all the flavour and goodness.
For quality assurance Kokonut Pacific, the inventors of the Direct
Micro Expelling process, also set the
DME Standard for your protection
and the empowering and advancement of the islanders we work with.
Certified Organic Confidence Our whole operation, from traditional tall palms to final packaging, is inspected and Certified Organic by Australia’s leading certifier,
NASAA. Without a Certification Number a product is not Certified
Organic, so check all labels carefully. (Our Certification No is 8105P). As well as being free of chemical pesticides and
fertilizers etc, one of the major protections for you is that to qualify for
organic certification the entire production path must remain traceable. This
means that the product can be traced from the store right back to the farm
where it was produced. (Unfortunately there are vendors making organic certification claims on their labels but without even indicating a country of origin.)
Fair Dinkum Fair Trade We are passionate about using DME® to build partnerships for Fair Trade. Our operation provides rural people with meaningful employment, a regular income and better living standards. Your purchase of this premium oil brings direct benefits to our island neighbours in the South Pacific & East Timor, by creating a better livelihood and helping to protect the environment.
Our coconut oil is currently sourced from our projects in the Solomon Islands and East Timor. Now more than ever they need our ongoing support as they attempt to rebuild their economies. You can also help us in this work by encouraging your local health food store to stock and promote our Niulife Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
