you are correct. Get the organic pure stuff made from the first sqeezings or don’t bother. This will become solid in colder temps and liquify when warmed. It smells wonderful and tastes so, well-coconutty!
Oh that’s not bad. I might check it out then.

I like to add abt 1/4 tsp to my coffee...
I get mine at Amazon for $23.97 and 99cent shipping for the 54oz. It’s half full yet and I’ve had it since April. Lasts a long time. For a great moisturizer, I mix it with some organic avocado oil, almond oil and some grape seed oil. My husband uses it for his left arm, the one that hangs out the window while driving truck. His skin was so thin and non elastic that he would bump it and the skin would bleed. Now with using the oils every morning before work, he has some elasticity back and no more problems. Use what nature provides for us :)
I hate the taste of coconut, but you can’t taste it when used for cooking.
It really doesn’t have a flavor even when you lick a bit of it off your finger.
In any grocery store.
Available at Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, and other assorted outlets.

Oh, I want to go on that one next year (doing a transatlantic this year). Enjoy!
Ha—I would love to go on a transatlantic too. Enjoy!
That’s good to know. It could be good for me. Is it expensive?
Wait a cotton pickin’ minute!!!
For years we have had it drummed into our heads that coconut/ palm oil was horrible. One of the worst oils you can use.
High in saturated fat.
Theater popcorn was denounced mainly because of coconut oil.
Now it’s wonderful?? Argh!
Love the stuff........eat it right out of the jar with a spoon:)
Enjoy... but I won’t join you! :0)
Yeah, it’s frustrating, but maybe coconut oil-cooked popcorn will make a return. It sure was good and nothing ever matched it.
Are you using strictly the oil or are you doing the whole glycemic diet thing?
Just curious. I've just begun doing so, and have been reading on how coconut flour is better for you than the grain-based flours as long as you adjust for the lack of moisture when baking.
It’s about $6 for a 30 oz jar; but a little goes a long way.
It’s also a great lubricant for intimate activities. No greasy or sticky feeling.
And as others have mentioned, it’s an excellent moisturizer.
I actually went on the Hcg protocol...and it worked for me since I was hypothyroid and wasn’t able to ‘diet’ the weight off. It was pretty hard to do at first, but now that I’ve changed my whole way of eating, I’m keeping if off and feeling great. And I love my coconut oil. I also use almond flour, coconut flour and other more natural flours for cooking. Me and wheat just don’t get along well I guess.
I add almond milk to my coffee. If I add coconut oil will my coffee taste like an Almond Joy?
