Good Replacement to Wheat Flour
Great quality coconut flour. Very finely ground makes it great for a replacement to wheat flour. If you plan on baking with this make sure you know that coconut flour will absorb much more water than wheat flour so you will need to suppliment that with more water/eggs in the recipe. A quick search online for coconut flour recipes will get you started. 5 lbs of coconut flour will last you a very long time since you don't need as much of this in a recipe. I've made gluten free banana bread and pizza crust with this and had a great tasting product. I would suggest using this over alomond flour when possible b/c it is much cheaper and does a good job as a substitute for wheat.
Pros:
Good wheat substitude
Much cheaper than almond flour
finely ground
resealable pouch
Cons:
Absorbs a lot of fluid in the recipe (Recipe can be adjusted to fix this)
