Hmmmmph, the USDA database has
Coconut Meat, Dessicated, Unsweetened at a whopping
81.84% of the calories from fats, which is why it's such a great source for oil, eh?
But that's certainly a
long long way from
14%, and Coconut "Flour" is a processed
product,
not a raw unaltered ingredient, so SOMETHING should have been done to it ...
Still no response to my email; I'll see if I can call them from here (US 800 numbers don't always work from Canada, depends if they have customers here or not, or want them
) -- tomorrow morning.
BTW, for everybody out there, the reason I'm so fussed about the differences, is that the
almost 70% difference in fat content (and relative fiber content, and fineness of grind for that matter) is likely to make a VERY big difference in how the stuff reacts in recipes...
So far it looks like 3
different kinds of 'coconut flour', so-called, are being sold out there, without any differentiation and with bad labelling. Irks my business
and culinary soul!
Now I KNOW I'll be updated!
