Almond Flour and Coconut Flour -- OK?
Was wondering how those two products sat with you.
Almond flour is basically ground almonds.... with skins or without.
Coconut flour is similar, only the finely ground, dried coconut meat.
Both are high in fat, fiber, and somewhat high in protein (compared to "normal" flours).

I've been experimenting with both in baking. There shouldn't be any reaction, both are low carb. But you never know till you use it. And I don't like the smell or taste of coconuts either, but I do use the flour. It has unique properties, so it's nice to be able to use it in a blend with other flavors and flours. The taste and smell are easily baked into something else.
There are some wonderful, free low carb baking sites available. I flip through them and look up ingredients on the internet. There are some very creative, passionate people out there experimenting with all kinds of low carb ingredients.
