No, still not confused.

We'll never agree on this but the one thing we should agree on is this, if it is labelled as desiccated coconut, and you are in need of flour, then don't buy it.  Whatever the differences are or are not CA, they are labelled different for a reason, and so, you should follow the label as to what is in the packet!

As for what you can get hold of down under, well, only you know that I guess, and if you can't get hold of anything labelled 'coconut flour' then I understand your need for clarity.

Ok CA,

If the desiccated coconut, and the cocounut flour are the same thing, then have you tried grinding the desiccated coconut, to give you a finer flour?

That is the main visual difference here in the UK between the two, desiccated being much much courser than the flour, so maybe ginding could give you what you need.

Not having much experience with coconut, what is the difference between coconut flour and coconut powder please?

I buy the coconut powder (from Maggi) which I use for Korma's and CTM, but have never seen a recipe with coconut flour in it before.....

Sorry CA, I totally missed that thread

It probably comes from not frequenting this site much anymore due to juveniles arguing about their status in life as to whether they are right or wrong with other members of the site and then creating threads of about 20 odd pages of who is right or wrong over a recipe, instead of just accepting that this is a big world with a lot of people and things WILL be different for everyone.......

Sorry if this is not literate enough for you Phil, but literacy does not always mean sound state of mind even if you have big words or sentences

 ;D Thank you Phil.....
