Coconut flour that doesn't have that mild sweet coconut taste?

Paleogirl · 02-21-2012, 05:18 AM

I've been using Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flour for my baked goods, and it's great for those sweet dishes like pancakes and desserts. However, I made one of the low carb biscuits this morning using it, and it was definitely sweet. I was hoping there might be a coconut flour out there with a more neutral taste for savory items? Thanks!

Since it's made from ground up coconuts, I don't see how they could remove the flavor.

I use the Aloha Nu and I don't taste it...but maybe my taste buds are warped.

That's the brand that I've got too and I don't taste it too much if I use enough cheese and seasonings in savory baked goods. It wasn't enough of a coconut flavor to stop me from eating them.

Well the thing is I made that almost biscuit recipe that's basically coconut flour, egg, and heavy cream for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, and it turned out kinda sweet tasting. I don't know really how to savor it up without making it blech you know? There's not really any "plain biscuit seasonings". I may have to look into getting that brand, though, and see if it makes a difference. Thanks!
