I make air popped popcorn and drizzle coconut oil and just a little butter. I also whip it and add some essential oils for a lotion.

I cook with it all the time. Coconut smell goes away as it is cooking. I leave mine on the counter for months and have never had it go rancid. Purchase the extra virgin cold pressed - just like when buying olive oil. is also good for weight loss. There is a lot of info on facebook about it too.

have been using it for several years now, I only use the organic- even our local grocery stores stock it now. I used to buy it on the internet and it was expensive.So many medical uses for it,as wells as daily skin care.very good for pets,too.Just add a teaspoon(daily) to their dog food. Most of the stuff you read about it on the internet is true, if you can believe that.

Saying good for dogs fur/skin...how about cats? I have a kitty that deep is hot spots...wonder if this might help
|
Can you buy it at Wal mart? What is the name of the coconut oil? as some one said Luann was not a good brand so what are the brands to buy?
|
Yes, you can buy it at WalMart. It's in with the other oils and shortenings. I think there are two or three different brands. Just check the label. I buy organic coconut oil and I've never had it go bad.

Well, now I guess I'm going to have to get some coconut oil! I very seldom believe what I read on the computer but I know I can trust this group. My granddaughter uses it in her smoothies. :)

Coconut oil can be used in the place of butter or other oils in baking. It is a lot healthier than the other oils.
|
so you spread it on toast instead of margarine?
