Trying to work out the carbs in some coconut flour I have just bought. It says on the nutritional panel -

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
Serve per 100g
Energy 1735KJ
Protein 19.3g
Fat, total 8.6g
- saturated 8.1g
- unsaturated 0.5g
- trans fat 0g
Cholesterol 0g
Sodium 80mg
Carbohydrate, total 64.7g
- sugars 7.9g
- Dietary Fibre 38.5g

Now the American Nutritional Panel I found says almost exactly the same thing (see below) so would that mean that the one I bought (above) is actually the American Carb Values? Ie I could subtract the fibre?

Yes subtract the fibre. You will find the carbs vary between the brands.

Thanks Sherrie that's what I thought, I was just worried because I thought the Aust Panel had to have that already subtracted.

If the fibre was subtracted it wouldn't be sitting indented under total carbohydrates with the sugar like that but rather it would be listed like the protein is.

Ok cool, thanks for that. I never noticed it like that before on Aussie labels.

Where does everyone buy their coconut flour and oil from?

I found this site that sells online and am wondering if it is expensive, including post it would cost $32 for 2kilo's of coconut flour....?
