Scribd may have the answer.

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.

Then you'll also understand that you're not really helping me then Ray (if I can't get "flour").  But thanks for your persistence.

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.

Yes, it's what I do (in lieu of "coconut flour").  That's why I was asking the question in response to Jerry's statement " desiccated is NOT what you want" and I wanted to confirm what he meant by this (i.e. are there any other differences that he's noticed?)

(PS: I do also use coconut milk powder)

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

Sorry, was that a reference to my PM re your "Is that now Deuce or Truce" ?

When I said I would share it with my more literate friends, there was no intended suggestion that the members of CR0 are not literate -- all that was meant was that not all of my friends would get your joke, which was a compliment to you rather than a slur on the good members of CR0.
