Is this made from fresh coconuts or from copra (dried coconuts)?

deodorantI know the owner...here's his response: Refined coconut oil is made from copra. Carrington Farms is Organic unrefined Virgin Coconut oil. All unrefined Virgin coconut oil is made from the fresh meat of the coconut. Unrefined Virgin Coconut oil is a little more expensive because everything is made from fresh coconuts that are hand processed within three days of picking. Refined is all mechanically processed. Sometimes they call it RBD. (Refined Bleached and Deoderized).

As the listing States: "Cold pressed; Extra virgin;" Easily dissecting the words would give you the answer actually. Cannot get Extra virgin or cold-pressed from copra or dried anything....including dried coconuts. From: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/rawfoodsrecipes/a/cold-pressed-oil.htm "Cold-pressed oils are oils made by first grinding nuts, seeds, fruits or vegetables (depending on the oil being made) into a paste. Then an oil stone or other tool is used to press the paste which forces the oil to separate out. Many labels use the term cold-pressed, but they aren't all considered raw and suitable for a truly 100% raw food diet. To be raw, the oil cannot be heated above 115F. Some manufacturers will heat up the paste in order to extract more oil. This alters not only the nutritional value of the food, but also the color and flavor. The only way to know for sure if an oil is truly raw is to contact the manufacturer directly. You can also do some on-line research to find companies with strict raw regulations and effective investigative practices. Essential Living Foods is one trusted source and a Greek company called Eliki Olive Oil produces an authentic raw oil." Extra virgin: From: Google Search adjective adjective: extra virgin 1. denoting a particularly fine grade of olive oil made from the first pressing of the olives and containing a maximum of one percent oleic acid.

In my experience shredded coconut is the finely cut meat of the coconut. Coconut flour is much finer. I have never tried to make the flour from the shredded coconut. The flour has significantly more fiber than all purpose flour. Hope that helps.

If you go to the grocery store and look at these on the shelf you'll notice they come from different countries. My mom is from the Philippines, and the ones that are bottled there (I've managed to buy some, same brand), do taste just like fresh coconut water that's just been harvested from the tree. We were there last summer visiting family. I love this stuff because it reminds me of my grandparents farm. Bottles will vary in flavor, like buying oranges from the store, some are naturally sweeter than others.

No, all the bags I've gotten from Costco are fresh and taste like coconut. Nina Murphy, San Rafael, CA

As far as I know because I switched to a cheaper brand and it just says organic coconut sugar. It should tell you in the description. Hope this helps.

Real coal based charcoal not coconut based. Depending on the strenght of the aroma, I replace annually. Good luck.

I'm not sure about any coconut-related ingredients. I believe the price is for three bottles, at least that's how many came when I ordered.

the sugar is shipped from TX It is a "product of INdonesia" I am sorry to say, although I believe it to be one of the healthiest natural sugar options, the process of making coconut sugar destroys the trees! making them unable to produce our precious coconuts for coconut, coconut milk, coconut oil, etc :( I found this out only weeks ago and will no longer support this process... have to find another organic sugar option that is not agave.

Yes, I will quote directly from the statement on the back of the package, which says, "This bag contains 100% pure evaporated coconut sugar that is certified organic, kosher and vegan." The ingredients list is as follows, "Certified organic coconut nectar sugar (Cocos Nucifera)".

I believe it is ORGANIC! Coconut coming from coconut palm has to be organic. This brand is from SriLanka. The taste/smell as natural as it can be...

I do not know. The coconut four I have from Nutiva is very fine, and perhaps that might be the "powder". Some alternative flours are more coarse, like my almond flour is not fine like a powder. But to be honest, I really don't know.

No. It only has one ingredient "organic coconut." You can check the Bob's red mill website to see a better picture of the packaging.
