About Coconut Secret
It all began in the Spring of 2008, with an overwhelming desire to create a low glycemic, gluten-free snack line that was truly safe for diabetics, using the purest, most organic, least processed ingredients we could find. A few years earlier both our parents were diagnosed with Diabetes, and we quickly became appalled at what was being passed off as “diabetic-safe” foods, especially in the snack category. We discovered, that oftentimes, sugar is disguised on labels in a myriad of creative technical terms. Newly invented imitation sugar substitutes are used as sweetening agents. Sugar in other forms are frequently added such as fruit juice concentrates, honey (which when heated and processed for use in manufacturing, essentially becomes sugar syrup), and the most infamous of all, “high fructose corn syrup” (HFCS), now widely known as one of the primary contributors to Diabetes and Obesity. None of these sweeteners are truly “safe”, no matter how they are purported to breakdown in the body. Coconut sugar is made by collecting the “sap” from coconut tree blossoms. Who knew?! There are specific species of coconut trees that can be “tapped” (much like maple trees are tapped in the maple syrup making process). Bamboo containers are used to collect the sap of the coconut trees right at the blossoms. When the coconut trees are tapped, they produce a continuously flowing “inflorescence” (juice or sap) that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This naturally sweet sap is very low glycemic (GI of only 35, with only 16% sucrose), raw and enzymatically alive, is an abundant source of 17 amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, broad-spectrum B vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH. It is then minimally evaporated for less than an hour (only to remove excess moisture), at low temperatures, never exceeding an average summer day in the tropics. The end result is a syrup-like product known as coconut “toddy”, which is then further evaporated into crystal form to produce the coconut sugar.

Health Benefits of Coconut Tree Products
Helps Prevent Obesity by speeding up metabolism, providing an immediate source of energy with fewer calories than other fats. People who consistently use coconut products, report a stronger ability to go without eating for several hours with no affects of hypoglycemia.
Improves Heart Health by providing healthy short chain and medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) that are essential to good health. Close to 98% of all fatty acids consumed are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), which are very different from MCFA that have no negative effect on cholesterol ratios and help to lower the risk of atherosclerosis and protect against heart disease. Studies have shown that populations in Polynesia and Sri Lanka, where coconuts are a dietary staple, do not suffer from high serum cholesterol or heart disease. Unlike other fats, the unique properties of coconut also contain a large amount of lauric acid, which is the predominant fatty acid found in mother's milk.
High in Dietary Fiber rivaling other fiber sources such as psyllium, wheat bran, oat bran, and rice bran. Coconut supplies an impressive 61% dietary fiber! Foods contain two types of carbohydrates – digestible and non-digestible. Digestible carbohydrates (soluble fiber) consists of starch and sugar and promote calories. Non-digestible carbohydrates (insoluble fiber) contains NO calories. Since the body cannot digest the dietary fiber in coconut, no calories are derived from it and it has no effect on blood sugar.
Low Glycemic Index (GI) measures how fast available carbohydrates in food raise blood sugar levels. Coconut fiber slows down the release of glucose, therefore requiring less insulin to utilize the glucose and transport it into the cell where it is converted into energy. Coconut also assists in relieving stress on the pancreas and enzyme systems of the body, in turn, reducing the risks associated with Diabetes. Coconut Nectar and Crystals have a very low GI of only 35 (compared to honey with a GI of 55-83, and sugar with a GI of 65-100.)
Reduces Sweet Cravings and improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose. The healthy fat in coconut slows down any rise in blood sugar and helps to reduce hypoglycemic cravings.
Improves Digestion and many of the symptoms and inflammatory conditions associated with digestive and bowel disorders, by supporting absorption of other nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids while also providing beneficial dietary fiber.
Quick Energy Boost that provides a super nutritious source of extra energy. Coconut is utilized by the body to actually produce energy, rather than to store it as body fat. It supports improved endurance during physical and athletic performance. As well, it promotes healthy thyroid function and helps to relieve the symptoms of chronic fatigue.
Coconut helps to aid and support overall Immune System functions.

Suggested Use
Use for baking, to thicken gravey, or as a supplement to super-boost fiber content in smoothies and any recipe! coconut flour readily absorbs moisture, so we suggest that you blend with other flours at a ratio of 1/4 cup coconut flour to 3/4 cup alternate flour. A second popular option for those wishing to use 100% coconut flour, is the addition of eggs at a ratio of 4 to 1/2 cup flour. Since coconut flour is gluten-free, eggs act as a gluten substitute in any recipe. It can also be helpful to increase the liquid content in coconut flour recipes by adding an extra 1-to-1 ratio of liquid per equal amount of flour.

This has become my new go-to gluten free flour! Love the mess-free packaging and low price. I use this in everything from baked goods to a stir-in for steel cut oats and plain yogurt (makes it taste like cheesecake!).
-
Excellent Food! Can mix water to make it into a paste. Also, try adding some Herbs, Tomato, Coconut Vinegar/Aminos to the paste. For a sweeter side add Coconut Crystals/Nectar to the paste. If you have a dehydator, you can make chips from the paste. The "Thinner" you make them, the "Less" time is needed to finish them.
NOTE: Caution! Be Very Careful >> If eating it in the "Raw Thick Paste" form, then the more time you need to dissolve it in your mouth
-
This was my first time buying coconut flour. Great experience with it so far... I made some gluten-free blueberry muffins that turned out great! Everyone in my family loved them!
-
Fabulous for great nutrition and gluten sensitive people. Love to make pancakes with it!!
-
Awesome addition to my raw kitchen.
-
A great way to add fiber and avoid gluten in baked products
-
Love using this. Takes a lot less than regular flour when baking.
-
Great to add to baking recipes for added fiber, nutrition, and to lower carb count. When you use a lot of it in a recipe, though, you will need more liquid to compensate because it seems to absorb a lot.
-
The recipes I used it in turned out well, and tasted great.
-
So delicious. Sometimes I just eat a spoonful plain! It mixes perfectly for all of my pancakes and crepes, and I even put some into my plain yogurt. A great addition to make something smooth with a texture or to fluff it up while still keeping carbs low and fiber high.
-
For low carb cooking, we love this flour, it tastes great too
-
I use this in different things like sweets and breads. I like to keep some on hand all the time, and this is the best price.
-
-
Great in pancakes, muffins, cookies and etc.
-
-
Terrific to have on hand for alternatives to the usual baking ingredients. Health value is really appreciated!
-
As a gluten free customer I am amaized at all the products that are available on Luckey's site. I haven't found one thing that I couldn't find on Lucky's site yet. Thank you for the availability of different gluten free items.
-
Experimenting with Paleo/clean diet...some of my family members are doing the GAPs diet....this flour was a bit clumpy, but it blended well enough to make some pretty decent muffins sweetened with honey or maple syrup. It makes them very light, a bit like sponge cake, but then again the recipe called for a whole bunch of eggs as well...overall? Good substitute if you cannot use regular flour...
-
Great product! Coconut flour is very dense. Make sure you know the right ratio if substituting and not going directly from a recipe, because it is not 1:1 substitution from regular flour.
-
Very good - does have a little coconut flavor
-
So far so good. No complaints!
