Making coconut flour with a juicer?
I was trying to find some
information on cold pressing coconuts when I stumbled upon Youtube user
rawfoods and his unique
approach.
1. Shred up the coconut.
2. Bake chunks in a dehydrator
at 118 degrees for 12 to 24 hours depending on humidity.
3. Slowly feed the dried
coconut pieces into a juicer where the fiber will get extracted from
the oil, which is very creamy and can be used as butter if you have the
proper coconut.
4. You may need to feed the
fiber back through to get additional oil out. This guy uses an Omega
8006 juicer.
5. Feed extracted fiber into a grain mill to make coconut flour.
More on this later when we
actually juice up some dried coconuts.

so would it be possible to run the coconut through the juicer before the dehydrator to get some more coconut milk first? or no? just a thought, nice post though...
