Re: Talk to me about coconut oil

Hmmmm. The benefits sound great, but... coconut? Ewwwwwww. There is no taste in the world that makes me gag more than coconut... I'm half-retching at the mere thought. :sick2 Any way to get (at least some of) the benefits without any coconut taste at all? :think

Might be the same for you with coconut oil.

I mixed it into tea (and cappuccino) last night instead of eating a spoonful. I could taste it in the tea but not the cappuccino and it made my lips soft and soothed my throat. didn't last long but for the time it was nice.

Tropical triditions forment their coconut oil in processing.Some of the other brands say no formenting.So I figued formenting wasnt good.I dont exactly know what or how the formenting process goes but it doesnt look like a good thing.

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil

Can somebody who has the BIG jar of Nutiva measure it for me? I'm trying to figure out if it will fit in my cabinets. (shelves are kind of short)

Thanks.....
