What's the difference between this and the more expensive flakes? ?? TIA!

I haven't tried any other brand for Shredded Coconut, for I've trusted Bob's Red Mill and their products. The Shredded Coconut I get is very dry and lack the fragrance of a fresher coconut. When I toast it I get some aroma. I only wish the coconut smell could be stronger without any addition. I don't know if it's possible. One reason I take the trouble of using fresh ginger is that the dry one totally lacks the smell that fresh ginger has, even though it retains the hot quality. But processing a fresh coconut and freezing it is not the best option, starting with the size.

Bob's is what coconut used to taste like. Before sugar and additives were mixed in to make it super sweet and perma-soft.....but as for the pricier brands, it really comes down to marketing. They are no better.

These are the only ones I have ever bought. I know others have added sugar.

I don't know what more expensive flakes you are talking about, but this shredded coconut doesn't seem to have much flavor and the coconut shreds are tiny and quite hard. I use it for baking where I don't want a strong coconut flavor, where the other ingredients help soften it when it bakes. For some things it works fine. For others, I would choose a different coconut.

I'm currently drinking the Gold one, but it's my first time trying it. And honestly, I feel both of them the same. I would say the difference is the Platinum has more grams of protein and more BCAA per scoop than the Gold. They say Platinum is thinner so your body breaks it down better which gives you faster results. But Platinum is also a little more expensive than Gold. But yea they both work just as good in my opinion. I'm personally going to keep buying Gold though. You can get a 5lb of Gold for the price of a 3.5lb Platinum.

I dont know why its cheaper, prices definitely vary depending on brands and sizes of supply. I also haven't used a more expensive brand but I can tell you that this brand has worked for me. It has dramatically suppressed my appetite without side effects which has made dieting easier and I have been losing weight. Inexpensive doesn't always mean lesser quality!

This is only a wild guess, but I imagine it's the labor that goes into the finish. I bought the less expensive for my husband last Christmas (he loves to cook) and have been very satisfied. We use Barkeeper's Friend to polish it up now and then and it looks great. He has a few pieces of the more expensive type, but other than a small difference in weight, I can't tell any difference in the cooking ability. If you are a real gourmet chef, you probably won't be happy with any but the most expensive cookware. However, if you are like most of us, the less expensive will serve you well for many years. :)

Hi. This is a powder product. I think the smaller pieces work much better than the powder. :)

I think the main difference is in the materials. Some of the more expensive mats are made from organic cotton and natural foam. Some do not use plastic for the flowers. This can be very important to people with sensitives. I do suffer from multiple chemical sensitives and would prefer an organic cotton mat without plastic, but I can honestly say that this mat has never caused me to react after I let it air out.

Hi Therese, I am no expert on this however the website i have included says that the magnesium oil is more pure than the flakes. It goes into alot of detail about the difference and when to use which one. http://www.ancient-minerals.com/blog-post/bath-flakes-vs-oil/

I got same as you but because this was my first time ordering I was thinking that this is how is should be.I like it but preferred the flakes.

We don't know the difference, but we have purchased these yeast flakes from KAL before-excellent. We store ours in the container in our freezer, getting out only small quantities-(to sprinkle on popcorn, stir in soup, etc) but keeping it in the freezer..no problem with that..it'll last a good while- but we use it up too:)- hope that helps

To be quite honest, I believe they're the exact same thing. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. Whichever is the cheaper is the one I would get at the time since the shelf life was the same. Let me know if you have any further questions. D. Smith

I don't know which one you are considering for half the price. I have the $30.00 one with a lifetime guarantee and it is wonderful. No spots and no melting. Several before this just melted with certain foods hitting them. For a lifetime, I think $30.00 is a good deal. GoodLuck.

I buy mine @ Wal-mart, they all seem about the same, it is the quantity you take that matters. Just because it costs more, doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I'm sorry, I can't really rate one over the other. I take 2 capsules 3x a day of the triple strength I buy @ Wal-mart along with the milled flaxseed I get in the flour section & I have minimal knee & joint pain.

They both have beautiful color reproduction and both have a nice glossy finish.For durability of finish I don't know if there's a difference.I've had good success with both as far as data burning!I would probably go with the cheapest one ehin I repurchase!

I have tried both, these were horrible compared. The name brand ones are waaaay better, and you can find them at marshalls and tjmaxx, rather than the expensive beauty supplies. These are cheap and you get what you pay for...

There is no difference - it's the same. I have only used Opalescence and it works. It's the same as at the dentist office only cheaper.

The anti-skid ingredient is very small "clear" (more like translucent) plastic beads that aren't as clear as the clear top-coat so when used they can make the final product just slightly less-clear than without the anti-skid but the main difference in appearance is just due to the fact that the rough texture doesn't reflect the light the same as without anti-skid. If you've used plenty of flake then it won't be very noticeable unless it's next to a glossy area of floor that doesn't have the anti-skid.

I have used both Wenol and Simichrome for many years; mainly on brass and chrome. I find them both to be excellent and just as effective. Wenol comes in a larger tube and is a better value. I would use an appropriate polishing cloth (such as by Blitz, Connoisseurs or Cape Cod) on jewelry, silver, gold and stainless steel rather than these paste polishing products. I have no experience with Flitz.
