Coconut flour
Coconut flour is a type of flour that is made from dried and powdered coconut meat. It is high in dietary fiber, which can help decrease cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is beneficial to those with diabetes since it is low in carbohydrates like wheat and corn, and it has a modest effect on blood glucose levels.
Because of having fewer carbohydrates and more fiber than regular flour, coconut flour helps to slow sugar absorption in the circulation and support improved blood sugar control. It's also gluten-free, making it a great choice for those with celiac disease, an autoimmune illness that's more common among persons with type 1 diabetes. Coconut flour is also high in protein, which keeps you fuller for longer and is necessary for cell repair and growth. This flour has a mildly sweet flavor and may be used in a wide range of recipes, including cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies, and bread. If you use coconut flour instead of wheat flour, make sure to adjust your recipes accordingly, since it absorbs more liquid and can result in a dry, gritty texture.
