Superb! August 27, 2010
Kwisatz Haderach (Texas, United States)
This oil DOES taste like coconut but not sweet. It is awesome on toast with jam instead of butter(it may sound weird, but just try it!). I use it to bake the most incredible brownies. Also good for cooking pancakes. I've bought Tropical Traditions (without the coconut taste)in the past to cook savory foods and Nutiva is comparable in quality. I've heard this kind is better because it's not as processed as the kind that doesn't have a coconut taste, I just dont' like coconut flavor in my savory foods. If you're iffy, just look up the incredible health benefits of coconut oil.

I LOVE this stuff. It arrived fairly quickly, but had leaked a bit inside it's box (I suppose that's to be expected with trying to ship an oil in the middle of summer). I've had it for a month or so and it's only just starting to solidify in the cupboard.
The oil smells wonderful, a yummy coconut smell, and when it's heated in a pan it just smells that much better. I use it every time I pan fry anything (eggs, fish, chicken, etc) and it always works wonderfully. I haven't noticed it adding any coconut flavor to anything really, except perhaps eggs which I don't mind at all.
I have used it in baking a couple of times and have had only one issue. Because it's a 'solid' oil (depending on temperature) when I added cold eggs to the oil and didn't mix fast enough it started to chunk up so things didn't mix very smoothly.
I should also add that my son has exzema and has since he was born. I haven't found anything better then coconut oil to use as an after bath moisturizer for him, and he smells sooooo good when we are done.

I've been using this for over a month now, things I have noticed; my face seems to be getting clearer, it suppresses my appetite/desire for sweets and it's helping me to lose weight. I've also been giving it to our dog, hoping it would help her with her skin allergies, but I don't think it has done much in that department. I will still continue to give it to her, though, as I've read the many other benefits that it can help her with.
I prefer to have it when it's in its' melted stage & I just mix it with some fruit and it taste great that way. It is a bit on the pricey side, but I think compared to other vitamin supplements, etc. it is well worth the money.
Great alternative cooking oil August 16, 2010

I first read about the benefits of coconut oil while reading an article in Oxygen Magazine. I was curious about it's potential benefits so I did more research. I was very surprised to learn how this oil had been the primary source of oil in the United States until there was a propagandist pitch against buying this oil due to conflicts of the world war at the time, as well as the increased interest in corn oil manufacturing in the U.S. Coconut oil became a target of U.S. corn and vegetable oil manufacturers. Today, it's nearly been forgotten or written off because of it's high saturated fat content. Interesting to note that this oil's properties do not act like other saturated fats because it is a medium-chain triglyceride, which breaks down differently in the liver. After reading the information I gave it a go and I love it. It is great for all sorts of cooking. It even blends well into a protein shake. It smells wonderful and works as a great skin conditioner and massage oil. I would highly recommend coconut oil to everyone. Once you try it you won't want to go back to the unhealthy corn or vegetable oils.
