Urban Kitchen Pantry: Coconut Flour

Coconut flour is a healthy way to add flavour to baked goods, and Urban Kitchen uses it to create tart pastry and a selection of cakes in our Patisserie range.

As for health benefits of coconut flour: it packs a whopping 5 grams of fibre per 2 tablespoons (with only 2 grams of total and saturated fat) and it’s gluten-free. Coconut flour has health benefits for people with diabetes, too: adding coconut flour to baked goods lowers the glycemic index (a measure of the rate that a food increases blood sugar). In your market, look for coconut flour near other gluten-free flours.
