A culinary exploration involving the use of thin sheets made primarily from coconut flesh as a substitute for traditional bread or tortilla-based enclosures. These flexible, edible sheets provide a unique texture and subtle flavor profile when used to contain a variety of fillings. Common applications include savory or sweet fillings, designed for handheld consumption, offering a grain-free and often gluten-free alternative to conventional wraps.
The appeal lies in their dietary compatibility and versatility. Coconut-based enclosures typically offer a lower carbohydrate count compared to wheat or corn-based counterparts, making them suitable for individuals managing carbohydrate intake or seeking paleo-friendly options. Their subtle sweetness complements a wide range of ingredients, and their pliable nature facilitates easy rolling and folding. Their history is rooted in cultures with abundant coconut resources, adapting traditional preparations to suit modern dietary needs.
