    The asian shops should have coconut flour too. I got some in the one in the market in blackrock in dublin. It is a really good shop there. I have it with oats & milk in the morning.

    Depending on the recipe you could probably use just normal dessicated coconut readily available in supermarkets, usually alongside the raisins. Or stick the dessicated in a liquidiser to pulverise it more into a flour.

    Can't recall the exact price, the flour was similar price to dessicated which is very reasonable.

    Thanks for the replies. I'll defo check out the asian market.

    Rubadub- I had thought about grinding the dessicated coconut until fine but I looked into it- dessicated coconut is 70% fat and coconut flour is only 8%- apparently its de-fatted (however they do that?) before it is pulverised. Thanks mil for help though

    My flour is 62% fat, it is east end brand. What is the recipe you are doing?

    Unless it specifically says to be "defatted" I would presume it should be the normal full fat one.

    The defatted one sounds like the leftover waste after coconut oil is extracted.

    Though high in sat fat many say coconut is very good for you, and can help you lose weight.

    I got a couple of sticks of Gula Melaka (palm sugar) from Mr Bells in the English Market in Cork.
    Lovely stuff, really rich flavour from it, especially in Ice kachang.

    It's not waste
    Coconut dietary fiber is made from finely ground, dried, and defatted coconut.
