Mary:
I would guess that they get it from the same source - wherever
coconuts are grown, but how they process it is the question. If you
have been to an Indian store, you can see that they are not as
"meticulous" as say Fresh Fields or even regular, American Health food
stores. The bottles and cans usually have indications of spillage from
other containers, etc. It doesn't bother me - just kind of shows that
they don't waste things.
