Someone in our coop was having trouble getting coconut down the family and found frying sweet potatoes in it worked. Haven't tried this myself. I need to order more because I think mine is to old. I had gotten ours from Tropical Traditions.

Why don't you go back to Mercola if you liked that?

Spectrum brand was even worse (bought that one before I knew what to look for). Coconut Oil Supreme is so light with none of that fermented or burned kind of taste. http://www.coconutoil-online.com/Coconut_Oil_Supreme_Starter_Kit.htm<http://www.coconutoil-online.com/Coconut_Oil_Supreme_Starter_Kit.htm> Another good one I've used was Fresh Shores from Mercola.com. I want to use coconut oil, but other than a teaspoon every now and then, I can't think of many ways to use it other than on my skin. I can't cook with it because husband doesn't like coconut's flavor. I added some to bran muffins. I wondered about putting it in smoothies....since it gets so hard when cold, wouldn't it just be a clump in the smoothie? Pat
