Makes a big difference and explains the variation in the nutritional information between natural 100% whole coconut and the Flour product...hmmmmmm.

Wait on closer look they are not the same.....different serving sizes fool me for a min. Things have been removed and added and it says Coconut Flour/Fiber.


Eh? Sorry, Kevin, but I can't tell from here what the difference is between the labels. I already have the info from the Nutrition Facts on the "Coconut Flour" as you posted and it's clearly different from the info I have on several packages of "100% Raw/Pure Coconut".

I'd really like to know if you asked the company if the Coconut Flour is made from dried, ground coconut 'pomace'...I can contact NutsForU and if you haven't already Wilderness Family Naturals but you might get a better answer being WFN customer.

PS: I have a file of coconut "flour" recipes I recently pulled from public domain (published on the web in the open and all attributed where the info is provided. Would you like that set, too? They mostly differ from what's published here so far.
