Banaban Certified Organic Coconut Flour & Sugar Review.

There is so many great ways to use Coconut Flour and Coconut Sugar in recipes! I'm pretty much obsessed with anything coconut- so the idea of adding them into my recipes made me so excited! 

This brand of Organic Coconut Flour and Organic Coconut Sugar is such high quality and contains 100% only coconut. It's so easy to use these instead of your typical flour and sugar- but the bonus of it being so much better for you!

Here is my review!

The Banaban Certified Organic Coconut Flour* is described as follows: "Can be used in the baking of bread, pastries, cakes & gravy. Naturally low in digestive carbohydrate, contains no gluten and is loaded with health promoting fibre & important nutrients." (Short version of the description.)

The Banaban Certified Organic Coconut Sugar* is described as follows: "An excellent healthy natural sugar substitute with a low GI of 35 and a rich source of vitamins and minerals." (Short version of the description.)

Main Ingredients (Flour): 100% Dried Coconut Meat.

Main Ingredients (Sugar): 100% Pure Granulated & Crystallised Coconut Nectar. 

Best Used: As a flour and sugar substitute! Make sure you research properly however, as you can't simply add the same amount of coconut flour as you would your normal flour. I used this flour and sugar in my favourite banana chia muffins (as shown above) and I was surprised at how well they worked! As much as I love coconut, I was a bit apprehensive about it making my muffins too "coconutty." Surprisingly though, it didn't! There was just a slight taste of coconut which made them even more delicious. There is some fantastic recipes online for using both these products.

Smells Like: Both these products smell of beautiful coconut, with the sugar smelling nice and sweet.

Pros (Flour): little carbohydrate content, high fibre, makes you feel fuller, contains vitamin c, iron, vitamin B1 and calcium, gluten free, no preservatives. Such a great flour substitute! 

Pros (Sugar): Contains iron, zinc, calcium, potassium & more in small amounts, low GI, a fantastic sugar alternative! 

Cons: Zero. 

Price/Purchase From: Sizes vary, but 500g of Coconut Sugar is $10.90 and 500g of Coconut Flour is $8.40- Available from some health shops or online at www.naturepacific.com
