Signs coconut flour has gone bad

- Any musty smell or visible mould.
- A sour or off taste instead of its mild sweetness.
When in doubt, throw it out — the cost of a spoiled meal isn't worth the risk.
Best way to store coconut flour
Coconut flour is a sponge for moisture — its one job is staying bone dry. Keep it tightly sealed in an airtight container; once damp it clumps into a solid block and can mould. The fridge or freezer is ideal in humid kitchens.
