INGREDIENTSCOCONUT FLOURGrain

Coconut Flour

Grain · Global · Asian · Caribbean

A whisper of cream and fermented earth clings to this pale, fibrous dust. Like a dry sponge thirsty for moisture, it absorbs liquids to yield a tender crumb. Its subtle, lactone-rich perfume offers a grounding, dairy-like warmth that softens the edges of both tropical confections and savory Caribbean spice blends.
