Thanks for the information on coconut oil. I buy it by the 5 gallon bucket
Virgin C O from tropical traditions. It remains good for over 4 years. It is
recommended for 3 years. I use it on all of my hot vegetables, casseroles,
baking and cooking. I apply it to my skin and it is a wonderful healing
emollient I appreciate any new used for it and find it is very healthy.

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.

I thought one could eat it on toast and crackers or take it by mouth or any
other dozen ways of eating the stuff. Why don't you go back to Mercola if you
liked that? Faith G.

Although Tropical Traditions makes the best lip balm sticks ever and good
hand soap, I can't stand the taste or smell of their oil (but I haven't bought
any new in a couple years). 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.

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?
