My wife is a food nut in the SF Bay Area they call her a Gourmet. I'm a Construction Worker Common Man for which food tastes good as long as it's not expensive. Butt every so often she happens onto something that looks good.
Coffee Flour, basically dried ground up Coffee fruit to be added in baking. Being an old school environmentalist I don't like waste - hence my love for Medicinal Grappa
More iron per gram than fresh spinach, More fiber per gram than whole grain wheat flour, Less fat and more fiber per gram than coconut flour, More antioxidants per gram than a pomegranate, More protein per gram than fresh kale, More potassium per gram than a banana
I bought a pound for the wife and my daughter who are both big bakers and I eat baked goods in mass quantities. I wonder what they'll turn out.
Reports later. Maybe I should send a pound to my sister-in-law, she grinds her own flour and bakes......

The nutrients sounds good but from what I understand you only replace a small percentage of regular flour with it so your net benefit is fairly small.
Then if you consider if any of the baked goods has SUGAR you're REALLY fooling yourself! Still, the wife is intrigued & going to pick some up.

My wife also is a baking wizard. I occasionally go to the Amish markets where she gets her ingredients in bulk and much less than the food markets. I was amazed at the different kinds of flours available. But I have never seen coffee flour. Intriguing.
