Both coconut flour and almond flour are healthy and keto friendly, however, almonds are high in soluble oxalates and also expensive in our country so i’d go for coconut flour☺️
I would be very happy if I can use coconut flour without taste or smell!!! What kind of fabric are you using to squeeze the water out? It must have a very tight weave to not allow the fine flour particles to escape. Is there a certain type of fabric I will need to use? Thank you for posting this method.
Have you ever tried lupin flour?? I enjoy your videos. I'm going to try this. I have this same flour but didn't know there's a way to cut carbs in it. I'm excited to try it.
This process looks interesting, how do you know there is a carb reduction? I'd like to see how it's figured out. Zero flavor coconut flour sounds great! Does your process make the coconut flour more or less absorbant?
@@VintageLilacMemories I am 2 years late, but she is correct. All that is remains is the fiber. It's similar to the same process of Juicing. When you juice a fruit or vegetable, the juice go one side and the fiber goes another. SO, yes she is 100% correct.
So you are blending with water, squeezing out the water then dehydrating and reblending dry to a fine powder...what makes you think any of that is removing carbs? You are simply processing further and removing flavour...not carbs.
Essentially she is breaking up the cell walls of the coconut, and emulsifying the fat and sugars with the water, straining them away and all that is left is the cellulose of the coconut or as we know it, fiber and or starch if using a starchy ingredient. It’s how corn and potato starch and any other starch and fiber is made. Corn fiber which is considered keto the separation of the starchy molecules from the cellulose of corn. As an example. It does lose flavor as well as sugar and fat. Carbs are in the sugar. If it’s not sweet like regular coconut flour anymore than you can safely assume sugar and therefore carbs were removed. To be clear, sugar carbs are what we don’t want. Technically all fiber has carbs but it should pass through the body and not increase blood sugar readings so not counted as a carb load. This is why keto followers talk about net versus total carbs. This process should drastically reduce total carbs by lowering or eliminating more sugar and maybe creates a zero NET carb fiber.
@Vintage Lilac Memories You are correct, there is no "zero carb" coconut flour being produced here, nor is it possible. Carbs are found in the fiber, the sugar, and the starch; net grams carbs include both the starch and sugar, the fiber is not included. The process she describes cannot and does not result in "zero carb" coconut flour. But her viewers are happy to believe it, so what's there to do?...
The carbs in coconut flour are much lower than almond flour, so further reducing any carbs is not my main concern. I would like to be able to use coconut flour in recipes to take advantage of its texture in baking and its lower cost. Many recipes contain coconut flour as well as almond flour for it's textural properties, but I find the taste and smell of coconut flour so off-putting that I cannot use it in anything. A no taste/no smell coconut flour would be a dream come true for me and all the other coconut haters on keto!
This was a little confusing - The bag your using says' Coconut powder - I have not seen any brand like that. I have watched your video a few time's to try to understand what I can use in place of it . I buy coconut unsweetened flakes and that you can make milk or cream with . Must be your blending the flakes to fine powder to make your zero carb "homemade " coconut flour ?
@@seabliss22 I just went and purchased coconut flour from the bulk food store and followed her process and it came out great, it was beige in color before I started when I purchased it and now it's almost pure white. I am looking forward to using it I don't like the flavour of coconut or almonds and I have to say there is no flavour once this is done. Me and my husband went low carb/keto in Jan. 2019 after my husband had a major heart attack due to his Diabetes he was lucky he is back to work.
Surely, if your processing/washing all the oil/cream out of the coconut, what is left behind has proportionally MORE carb in it (?). This is 'defatted coconut flour'.
because carbs are a macronutrient that cannot just be washed away with water. You cook pasta in water, that does not wash away the carbs does it? @@beverleyomokoh6101
Came here after watching your shwarma video.. Omggggg your food looks so yummy! Lol you put so much effort into this flour. Bless your precious little hard working hands! I love coconut, but was put off from using it for baking due to the coconut flavor in everything.. When I get some time I'll have to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing! Oh.. BTW.. That shwarma recipe would make amazing tortillas for tacos and stuff! I bought a tortilla press and am excited to try it out!
Did you use the coconut flour or the coconut powder? I guess if you used the coconut powder I'd have to go to a foreign market such as Asian, Indian, and so on to buy the coconut powder since my local grocer doesn't carry that.
Thanks for the recipe, i will be making this. For clarification you are using coconut powder for the recipe as opposed to the coconut flour you find in stores?
@@briellejacobs1045 I guess you would use it as the same measurements as almond flour because if you do this process in the video, the coconut flour is lighter and not as absorbing.

@@briellejacobs1045 Thank you. You're welcome. I don't remember if she said a temperature, and on my dehydrator I put it on the lowest temperature to be safe. Actually I put it on 100°.

@@SWEETNANAABA29 Dry it in a pot. Keep stirring it and keep it low..it will turn a light brown but its ok. Doing it in the oven takes longer
Why don't you sell this no carb and no coconut taste you could be rich? I'd buy it today.
Me too! The flavor takes away from this amazing ingredient. I don't hate it but sometimes it ruins the recipe.
Ingenious strategy for low carb non fat ,non coconut smell ,non coconut taste but still a clear coconut flour .
I wish I could come visit and learn some of your recipes as well as your cultural dishes.
Great information on your channel, thank you! Is a vita mix essential, or can this be done in a regular blender please?
What a great idea, thanks! I also don't want a coconut flavor to everything.
I'm going to try this. If it works and takes the coconut flavor out of the flour I'll be very happy.
Inkdraft did it?
How do you test what you have left for carb content? Really amazing idea, thanks for sharing. 💐
I don’t
@@AFRICANKETODIET So how did you determine that it's zero carb?
@@TheEMC99 when all the milk is gone you’re basically left with fiber which is 0 carb. So just make sure the water runs clear.

Depends on the quantity but there’s also the coconut taste too

They are the same
Brilliant!!!
Which flour are u used for making flour I don't understand
ua-cam.com/video/eBDbNtEJJV0/v-deo.html
I use coconut
I was confused too. Did you use the coconut flour we purchase in the store or did you use unsweetened coconut flakes?
You can use either, including fresh coconut
I can’t see what you put in the blender. Was it the coconut powder that was in the bag or was it the processed coconut flour in the container?
it was coconut fine. Actual bag of coconut meat fine grate.
Reverend Kitty M Nelson thank you. I really couldn’t tell.
Do you have to blend it after adding the water, or can you just mix it? How long does it have to dry in the oven?
Until it's dry. Test it by feeling it with your hand.
But all the nutrients is gone or?
Not gone saved in the form of milk . The flour can be used for soooooo many other recipes, without adding any thing but bulk.
Thanks for the recipe, i will be making this. For clarification you are using coconut powder for the recipe as opposed to the coconut flour you find in stores?
You can use any form of coconut 🥥 since it will be blended up again

Really amazing idea but in this way not losing nutrition ,,,, plz answer me coz im diabetic 1 you know
It is, but it’s the best for keto poundo,for diabetics, it’s the best. You can get the extra nutrients by pairing it with vegetable soup.
Send me an email @africanketodiet@gmail.com
Lovely now I know what to do. Thanks
Pls, the organic coconut flour I have has 2g of sugar, can I use it for my zero cab figure?
Yes
Can you also apply this method to almond flour? Or is almond flour carb-free naturally?
Year you can but when you’ve made your almond milk but you can’t get the carbs out as easily as coconut
AFRICAN KETO DIET Okay thank you for the clarification
Wow I love this
What is that bag?
Where can I get that Nigerian cheese (akamu) cloth?
Through all coconut milk
What is that cloth you are using?
To me it looks like a shear white curtain - for a house window . My Mom would use freshly cleaned one's like you would a cheese cloth .
Musline cloth
a little confused, did you take the yellow coconut flour from the store bought to make this?
Yes, I did
Now I will have to get a dehydrator

I actually thought you were going to crack coconut from the start, didn't know you were getting an already processed one.
Here i dont belive u dear,first where to u get that thick cream from,then u remove all the coconut nutrients with water
where do i find this flour in america

There's no such thing as no carb coconut. No matter what you do to it, it will always be 100% carbs. lol
