Thank you for your reply....

So if I understand you, it comes in a jar and not liquefied as is olive oil. Am I wrong? Am I right?

Does it taste like coconut?

I love coconut. I would really love to know more about it.

I am going to research Google to get more information.

Thank you again.

You really have me excited about this new discovery.

It will most likely be solid. If you stick a spoon in and take a small amount, it will melt on your tongue.

When I first heard about coconut oil and cooking, I bought some at the health food store.

It had the very distinct flavor of coconut, so sometimes I would put say 1/4 tsp in my coffee... I thought the only thing one could cook with it would be desert type items, cakes, pies, cookies.

But if you get the extra-virgin, cold pressed coconut oil there is very little scent/sense of coconut to it.

It is one of the healthiest oils there is, being mostly medium-chain fatty acids. One of the few oils your cells can actually use WITHOUT a complex digestion process.

And extremely stable. Two year shelf life, probably much longer if you keep it refrigerated.
