| Coconut powder contains high levels of healthy saturated fats that the body requires, like MCFAs (medium chain fatty acids). Your body uses MCFAs to assist in supporting a more healthy metabolism, for energy and to help balance your blood sugar levels, among many other things. Coconut powder is also chock-full of fiber. In fact, the meat of coconuts boasts upwards of 61 percent of your daily dietary fiber requirements. Your body can’t absorb fiber on its own, and most of the carbs and calories present in coconut powder are, for the most part, unusable. However, these fibers move through the digestive tract to help your body eliminate waste and toxins (x, x). |
