Coconut flakes FAQ

Are coconut flakes low FODMAP?

Yes, coconut flakes are generally considered low in FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols). However, like most foods, they can cause digestive issues if consumed in excess. It’s recommended to keep portion sizes to about 20 grams for dried coconut flakes.

Are coconut flakes keto?

Yes, coconut flakes can be part of a ketogenic diet. They are high in healthy fats and have a low carbohydrate content. One ounce (28 grams) of unsweetened dried coconut flakes contains about 18 grams of fat, 7 grams of carbs, and 5 grams of fiber which reduces the net carb count to 2 grams. Please note that carb counts may be higher in sweetened or modified varieties.

Are coconut flakes vegan?

Yes, coconut flakes are vegan as they are a plant-based product made purely from the meat of coconuts, without the inclusion of any animal-derived products.

Are coconut flakes gluten-free?

Yes, coconut flakes are naturally gluten-free as they are made from coconuts, which do not contain gluten. However, cross-contamination can occur during processing or packaging in facilities that also process gluten-containing foods. If you’re gluten-intolerant, it’s best to always check for a gluten-free label or buy from trusted brands that ensure a gluten-free environment for their products.
