Coconut flour... is this why mycelium likes coir?
    #9858491 - 02/24/09 07:33 PM (15 years, 26 days ago)

I was browsing through some sites, checking out some stuff in regards to the supercake formula eatyualive mentioned... and I came across this page describing the benefits of coconut flour.

Now, I don't know enough about how coconut coir is processed or if the same nutrition is found in coir or not.  But either way I found this interesting:

Quote:

Coconut flour is uniquely different from all other wheat alternatives.  It is naturally low in digestible carbohydrates and contains no gluten. It has less carbohydrates than soy or nut flours while high in fiber and a good source of protein.  Coconut flour is 4 times higher in fiber than oat bran, 2 times higher in fiber than wheat bran, and 3 times higher in fiber than ground flaxseed.  Unlike other fibers, coconut flour/fiber can be used as a flour to make delicious bakery products and main dishes that are much tastier than other wheat alternatives.  Coconut flour also contains more protein than white or rye flour and cornmeal.  It has about as much protein as you find in buckwheat and whole wheat flours. Breads made with coconut flour are light and soft and have a wonderful taste and texture.

Coconut Flour vs. other Wheat Alternatives
Wheat alternatives are commonly flours made from rice, soy and potatoes.  Even though these products do not contain gluten, most substitutes for wheat are still high in carbohydrates.  Unfortunately, the taste and texture of products made with wheat alternatives are not nearly as appetizing as the products they replace.  In addition, these products are often loaded with flavor enhancers and sweeteners to help make them more palatable.  Normally, products made with wheat alternatives are “enjoyed” only by those who are forced to do without wheat and have no choice.

Would anyone like to pop in and explain to me if this has any relation to how coir performs?
