Can this product mill dried coconut flakes into coconut flour?

Yes, you can just need to make sure that the flakes are very dry. I would try them as they are and if you are having problems do the following. Try drying them so that they will not gum up the mill (just put them in the oven on the LOWEST setting 150 degrees or so and leave the door cracked, they will dry out quick so make sure to check them every 15 minutes or so and note how long it took to dry them where they milled well). If that does not work then you may have to break up the large flakes into smaller pieces. We did this by putting the flakes into two yip lock bags (take all the air out you can, this is the voice of experience who left it full of air and the bag busted blowing coconut flakes everywhere) and pounding it with a hammer to make the flakes smaller so that they would feed better. Just realize that you may need to take the machine apart, after you are done, to clean it for other types of grain. We did not, we just ran some wheat through and it cleaned the mill well. Some of our first bread had a coconut taste but that was fine. One thing to realize is that if family or friends have a food allergy to coconut, you will have to really clean the mill well or you may be putting them in danger of having a allergic reaction. Hope this helps, this is hands down the finest machine for the money, and will give you years of trouble free service.

Yes. It tends to produce a slightly "gluey" texture. I add 15-20% oat flour to the blend and this seems to improve baked goods.

This brand of coconut flour has been defatted - just a little oil remains. Therefore it is very dry and it will need more liquid. Baking is a science, so just about any recipe will have to be tweaked until you get it the way you like it. A New Orleans recipe just don't work in Denver. Coconut flour, in my experience, don't work in high heat (frying) as does wheat flour.

I don't see why not, but not in large quantities.I got distracted and let my whole oats run in there longer than planned, and they were very close to flour.

Amazon is showing me that you are asking about Anthony's coconut flour, which is made from coconuts and not almonds. Not sure if you meant to ask this question about a different product or not.

I don't think so. It is just a baking mix like bisquik, not a flour replacement.

Yes it will stay fresh for a while if you keep it in the fridge. Coconut flour is always a little moist and packs easy.

I don't know what more expensive flakes you are talking about, but this shredded coconut doesn't seem to have much flavor and the coconut shreds are tiny and quite hard. I use it for baking where I don't want a strong coconut flavor, where the other ingredients help soften it when it bakes. For some things it works fine. For others, I would choose a different coconut.

You'd be safer contacting the company to ask. Anthony's also makes (very lovely might I add) almond flour, and I'm not sure if it's processed in the same facility or with the same equipment as their coconut flour. You would think they wouldn't, being that its organic and I'm sure they are aware of high incidences of nut allergies and all, but to be safe I would call or email them to ask.

Yes, you surely can! You will need special recipes, though. Recipes in "The Spunky Coconut" come to mind right offhand, but there are surely others. You will need recipes that don't depend upon the caramelization capacity of sugar to make them succeed, so you can't substitute successfully in all recipes.

Matt, it is not quite like shredded coconut, at least not like the flaked shredded coconut you buy at the grocery store (ie. Angel brand). It isn't a fine powder, more like tiny tiny 0.5-1 mm bits of coconut.

It's already less fine than coconut flakes you buy in the store. Maybe you could put it in a food processor or blender, but I would just buy coconut flour.

I'm pretty sure you cannot. May want to ask the manufacturer. I do like to use Louana pure coconut oil.

Don't see why not...and a better cake it will be! I substituted the cacao powder for cocoa in brownies, baked with coconut oil and part coconut flour: heaven. Need I say more? Enjoy!

Yes, it can. But I used to grind soaked rice and dal. So I guess it can grind coco also. It works good bought a year back.

Actually, coconut flour has the oil pressed out first, before grinding, so grinding this will NOT make coconut flour. However, if you toss a bag of this into a Vitamix, in less than two minutes you will have coconut butter, or coconut manna, at a fraction of the cost of buying those products. I just made a batch.

The short answer is yes, coconut flour is about 65% carbs. Wheat flour, in comparison, has about 70-75% carbs, depending on whether it is whole wheat or not. What sets coconut flour apart is that 60% of its total carb count is fiber, compared to only ~16% in whole wheat flour (and obviously far less in white flour). Hope that helps.
