Does extremely dried coconut flakes have nutrients?

I got coconut flakes from the market, they’re so dry. I think that they have been exposed to high temperatures

Are they good? Someone told me that the good ones have a fatty texture

Answer

If it’s literally just a change in moisture content I don’t see how that would change the nutritional value. The person who told you about the fatty texture may have been talking about personal preference for texture or flavour and not necessarily talking about nutrition.

Are they roasted flakes or just dried flakes? Cooking can impact nutrients and bioavailability. I’m not sure about the differences between roasted and unroasted coconut.

Full disclosure, I’m not a nutrionist. I’m a former cook that took a nutrition class in college.
