Re: Where to buy Coconut?
In UK it is usually in the baking section in the supermarkets.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

Re: Where to buy Coconut?
I can't find it here either (Colorado, USA). I posted a board asking a few months ago and was told that I'd just have to buy it fresh in the produce section.Comment

Re: Where to buy Coconut?
Oh man.........I'm in Thailand right now and you can buy fresh coconut on the street... The water has 4-5G of carbs and the 'meat' is mostly fat. Both of which aren't allowed on induction.Comment

Re: Where to buy Coconut?
Oh yeah... and when you buy them on the street here they're only .25 US... ha.
That and the BBQ carts are great. I can eat a FULL BBQ and chicken dinner (with cucumber) for $1.25 ... w00t.Comment

Yea, Whole Foods sells it in the bulk section where you scoop out however much you want.

Re: Where to buy Coconut?
What rung of atkins is coconut on? Is coconut oil or milk allowed on induction?Comment

Re: Where to buy Coconut?
coconut comes in the nuts/seeds rung of OWL, so shredded coconut would be allowed then.
Not sure about the milk - I think as the white stuff is just made from the flesh it would be a nuts rung addition, but the clear fluid in the actual coconut
Coconut oil is OK I think for cooking on induction - perhaps someone can correct me if not.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

Re: Where to buy Coconut?
I found mine in all places, a middle east foods store here in NC. It's unsweetened shredded coconut.
If you have a store like that around you, I'd check it out because it's a popular ingredient in Arabic sweets and most likely they have it cheap.Status: Rockin' OWL
