Question question about coconut

Alright.. it's me again, with more questions....

In DANDR it says that 2 tbsp of DRIED unsweetned coconut has 0.8 grams of digestible carbs. okay... what about fresh coconut? My DH brought home a coconut (because he had read that part of the book - he was looking for foods he could eat.. grin!) and we cut it all up into 1/2 inch pieces. Now, being a fresh coconut, it's not as concentrated as a dried one... so, does that mean that it has the same or less carbs, or is there something mysterious about coconut that makes it more carb laden when fresh? It's SO sweet (had a tiny piece last night) and if it is low in carbs ... well, that'll be just too good to be true!

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance!
Blessings!
