Vegetarianism

Quote:There is coconut flour also. Coconut is so versatile.

Quote:Coconut is also very healthy, the oil is good as a prevention for memory loss.

Quote:It also contains caprylic acid, which combats candida albicans (which Tamara and I have both had). We buy organic dried coconut, grind it finer and put a little on top of our breakfast (or desserts).

With the week I have had, I could use any help at all.
I have forgotten a lot of little things like locking my door and remembering to get up for work. Usually I am more careful than that.

I have never seen coconut flour, but I bet I know where I can get some. I like the taste of coconut and have eaten it as is when you break the nut open. I never really thought about cooking with it although I have eaten coconut rice dishes. I can see possibilities for the dried coconut. It would add to many types of cooking.

How does the flour compare to wheat flour. I am guessing that it doesn't contain gluten. In muffins it would be fine. The more delicate things like biscuits might need careful experimentation. I am fine with wheat flour, but I know combining foods give a much better nutritional balance.

I am going to check the Indian Grocery store near the reptile centre. He usually has different things. I bought a big bag of ground ginger from him. He might have lentil flour as well. I like to support small local businesses and I want to try different food sources. Everybody wins.

As a kid we bought whole coconuts and I would eat tons of it. Why don't I do that now?
