PROS

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Cassava flour is a good source of fiber and resistant starch, which can help improve digestion and regulate blood sugar levels. Tigernut flour is high in fiber, iron, magnesium, and potassium, which can support heart health and boost immune function. Coconut flakes and oil are rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that can increase metabolism, reduce appetite, and promote brain function.
