timber Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Does anyone know where to buy coconut flour in Chumphon. Word is that it may be better for the diet than wheat flour and I have a weight problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Since you seek it for health reasons, may I suggest you do some research first. For example, it helps in weight loss only because it is high in dietary fibre....you have to weigh that advantage against it's high fat content. Mind you it is cholesterol free...a plus. "Flour" may be a bit misleading. Coconut powder would be more accurate IMHO. It is gluten free and so you won't be able to make any decent sort of bread. It's very low in carbs..which may be good for weight loss, but I don't think you'll be able to make scones or pancakes. If you want delicious high fibre food, use okra (thai kratiab) in all vege dishes. I love it. Chllies raise the metabolism which helps weight loss. I lost 15kg in 6 weeks with a daily brisk 30 minute walk and cutting out sugar completely.. Combined with lots of fibre and a reduction in carbs, I ate fatty meat and fried foods (because I love them) with no restriction. As long as I got my vege fibre. Lots of chillie. I drank rum or bourbon with water. And that's it. And have kept it off for 8 years now without any particular excersise or diet, except to stay away from sugar and maintain good levels of fibre.

beammeup Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 They feed it to the pigs. You can go to a market and see them squeezing the cream out of the flesh, just ask them for the leftover stuff. When this is dried its what they call coconut flour . I've done it. the problem is that it isnt very clean there are lots of pieces of the hull or shell mixed in.
