Coconut Cream Concentrate is whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It is sometimes referred to as “coconut butter.” It contains no additives* (not even water). The dried coconut meat is ground very finely, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high-fat content, much like other nut butters. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil.

Servings: 10
Preparation Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl combine the first 6 ingredients. Mix and set aside.

In a small bowl, beat the two eggs with a fork.

Melt the coconut oil and cool slightly in a small container.

In the meantime, add the apple butter, honey, and yogurt to the egg mixture and mix to combine. Mix in the melted coconut oil until well combined and set aside.

Shred the zucchini to get about 1 1/2 cups (can be a little more), about 1 1/2 small zucchinis.

Add the liquid mixture and the shredded zucchini to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until combined. Scoop mixture into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.

Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Oven temperatures can vary. It might take a bit longer or shorter, so watch carefully.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and remove from pan to continue cooling completely on the baking rack. Serve with grass-fed butter or room temperature coconut oil.

Italian_Pizza_Flour

In 2014 when we tested our USDA certified organic grains, we found that almost all of them had traces of the herbicide glyphosate at levels similar to non-organic wheat. (See: ALERT: Certified Organic Food Grown in U.S. Found Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide.)

Some scientists and researchers believe that the epidemic of gluten-sensitive diseases we are seeing today are related to glyphosate, and not necessarily the gluten.(See: Common Weedkiller Used in Modern Agriculture Could be Main Factor in Gluten Intolerance.)

While anyone with gluten sensitivities definitely needs to avoid gluten, for the rest of us, we need to be consuming healthy grains that are not contaminated. After much research, we found a source in Italy that grows traditional soft wheat where batches we tested showed no trace of herbicides.

Healthy Traditions is excited to bring you this high-quality Italian Type 00 Flour! This is the flour Italians use to make the absolute best pizza crust. It is also very versatile and can be used to make light and fluffy bread, cakes, fresh pasta and more! The light airy texture makes this flour a joy to work with and your creations will turn out fantastico!

This easy to use flour is from soft wheat grown on a single, organic, Italian farm that doesn’t use any chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

The flour has been milled by one of the best family run mills in Italy. This flour has been sifted but is NOT enriched, bromated, bleached or otherwise adulterated in any way. The only ingredient is soft wheat flour.
