Doesn't it change the texture in foods that are served at room temp?

It is absolutely wonderful in biscuits. It should be great in all those things...

It acts more like butter than oil. It just has a lower melting point than butter. It should cook like butter as well.

Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the world. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down. Tells you she's hurting before she keens. Makes her a home.

Oh yeah. A thousand times, yeah. Though, it does weird my husband out the way it goes on, because it starts out lumpy (he called it gritty) then turns magically to slick oil.

Default Re: Talk to me about coconut oil

OT:

I used the oil as a moisturizer over my whole body after my bath today, including on my face. WOW. It was not greasy, it soaked in beautifully and it made all my skin so soft. Normally I can't use a moisturizer on my legs after I shave because it will get in the follicle and cause pain at every little point and I'll have what looks like a massive heat rash everywhere i put the moisturizer, no matter how "all natural" it is, but the oil didn't do that.
