Coconut Flour
Coconut flour is very popular due to its nutrient composition. Low in fast carbs, it is a superfood to add to smoothies or shakes. It has a soft texture and is used often in cream soup and sauce recipes. The exotic aroma and exquisite taste of the coconut adds refinement and originality to desserts.
Coconut flour requires proper storage conditions in a tightly closed container. To avoid exposure to oxygen and other external factors, we have developed a zip-lock doy pack. Unique to Ukraine, this packaging is made of a four-layer polymer film with a metallized layer inside. It preserves all of the product's nutrients and freshness throughout its entire shelf life.

Chemical composition of a product is characterized by calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dietary fibres and vitamins. For organic products, these parameters significantly depend on natural factors – air temperature and precipitation during vegetational season, dry or rainy season, geographic latitude and longitude of cultivation, botanical grain varieties, and soil type.
It is impossible to foresee all the factors, so these values are average and indicative only.
