Is this coconut flour??

[diadeb]

Hi Everyone, I recently went into a local Asian shop (one which I have never been in before) and asked for coconut powder/flour. When I got home and had a proper look I realised that he had given me very fine desicatted coconut. Can I use this as coconut flour?
Thanks, Deb

Thanks to both Dawnmc and IanD for the information. I had thought that what I got wasn't the real coconut flour, thanks again, Deb x
