I will wait a day or 2 and call the # i have for them and ask them over the phone.
I like the flour and I'm sure when I become more familiar with it i'll get better at using it. It is just different from anything I've used up to this point.

Greetings and Happy New Year, Kevin!
Ok, I actually sent out an email all of 1.5 days ago (yes, midafternoon on New Years Day!) and I sent it to Wilderness Family, Simply Coconut, and Nuts4U. The only one who hasn't responded is Wilderness Family, but then I was very surprised to get such a speedy response from the other two
Now here's the interesting bits (so far):
Simply Coconut is defatted coconut (essentially, yes, coconut pomace) and that's why it's called Coconut Flour and it has such low net carbs AND such high fiber, as well as the much lower fat content. They have their Nutrition Facts posted right on the website (and they make it clear it's defatted).
****
Nuts4U is 100% raw dessicated/dried coconut (no,
not coconut pomace) and probably shouldn't therefore be called Coconut Flour; it, too has low net carbs, but
not as much fiber per ounce of product, as well as the much higher
fat content. They
do not have their Nutrition Facts posted right on the website, nor on the bag(!) but as it is not a processed food, they don't have to (but then they shouldn't really call it Coconut Flour, either).
* {really really annoying, because I bought this one based on their longstanding reputation}
We have yet to hear from Wilderness Family Naturals (and I didn't get an email back from them ever on another matter a month ago, so I'm not holding my breath), but their Nutrition Facts and nomenclature are in line with the Simply Coconut brand, so I suspect it's the same thing, coconut pomace...though it would be nice if this could be confirmed.
