A lot of ground up stuff is gluten free. Many gluten free grains, Nut flours, bean flours, isn't coffee a coffee bean? Part of a seed fruit from a large bush.
Think out of the gluten box and experiment... Coffee flour is most likely not roasted. :) Looks interesting
you will see they recommend a swipe out with flour of up to 20% so you can easily take a gluten loaf and substitute a little coffee flour instead. Add a special bouquet to your brownies or cookies and what about that bread? Might have to rename it as there exist coffee breads made with coffee. What would one call a bread made with some coffee flour?
It comes in different shades of coffee brown! Could easily add caramel colour to baked goods as well. I'm left wondering about the caffein connection. Does it still exist in this berry flour? Or is the waker-upper only in the bean?
In the dictionary, cascara is a purgative made from the dried bark of the American Buckthorn tree native to the Pacific Northwest. Hmmmm.
Botanists prefer to call the coffee cherry a "drupe". Coffee Drupe Flour sounds wonderful and short. So does coffee berry "mesocarp" or pulp, Coffea is a member of the Rubiaceous family of plants... how about Rubia flour?
A forth edit: Whoa, nomenclature alert! Just found out that coffee (two "ee") is the bean and the drink however
coffea <--- "ea" (with an "a") Is the tree (well... la de da!) Learn something new every day! (and it just started)
But he said, "gluten free"
:(

I know, but I was really looking forward to making sourdough coffee bread! ;D

All valid points. I was fantasizing about getting my caffeine with my sourdough bread somehow... I dont know.
But in response to your caffeine curiosity, from the site:
"does coffee flour have caffeine?
There's only a small amount of caffeine in our product. It’s about equal to the amount of caffeine in dark chocolate (~12mg / oz)"

There's a tea by that name made from the dried coffee cherries. Same stuff, different application. Cascara bread has a nice ring, don't you think?
Paul
I'd chow down on some cascara bread. :D
yup I like the sound of that; Paul.
