Now for my review:
What I Liked:
- The coconut oil is organic and very pure
- You can use it in a variety of ways not only limited to cooking and baking
- One of the highest quality coconut oils I have used
- It comes in a glass gar which is great since there are so many toxin leeching plastics out there and when it’s all gone, you have an awesome jar to reuse!
- You can easily substitute this coconut oils for any recipe with an unhealthy fat like canola or vegetable oil, which are rancid oils
- This coconut oils is great for a natural lotion, put some in a small baby food jar and keep in your bathroom, my kids have come to know this at what they use for lotion
What I didn’t Like:
- This oil is for anything but cooking foods like meat, searing tortillas for quesadillas or anything you wouldn’t want a slight coconut flavor on
- I wish the label wold explain that is does have a slight coconut flavor for people who are still learning about natural, real foods to buy

I’ve not tried it yet, but I’ve been saving up tons of ideas over on Pinterest!
I actually use coconut oil for deodorant.
I love coconut oil!
I have used my first jar of coconut oil. I do not care for the taste of coconut and neither does my husband. I have loved using the coconut oil instead of vegetable oil or shortening though. At first I snuck it in the food. I told him later. He is all for the changes I am trying to make.
I made the above comment. I am a little mixed up on what to put for profile. I do love the coconut oil.
I add Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil to smoothies!

I am interested in trying it for…..everything! I’ve never used coconut oil before.
I love frying eggs in coconut oil.
I actually really need some more expeller pressed, I am starting to wonder if I can’t have the virgin. It makes my tongue and throat feel kinda funny.
But I LOVE it for all sorts of other things.
Baking and popcorn!
I use it in nearly everything, but everyday in the morning smoothies!

To roast veggies or cook scrambled eggs.
I’m trying to purchase coconut oil for multiple things….I have a few recipes…calling for organic …but the cheapest on your site wasn’t the organic? I also need to make coconut milk…doing my research…it states …buying cocnuts in usa ..they are moldy? Good to know…I missed your giveaways..but glad your doing giveaways…..also…any study link related to better eye vision with coconut oil? I need to get moving here…advice please…..
I use TT expeller pressed for cooking because it doesn’t add any coconut flavor and the Gold Label for all other uses like skin and hair care, pulling and anything I do want to impart flavor to. I recently started giving it to the dog who loves it so much she pushes her bowl around trying to get every last bit and begs for more! I made the mistake of starting off with the good flavored expensive stuff for her and can’t change it knowing just how much she loves it.It’s great stuff and if the benefits are as great as they say (and it sure seems accurate to me) the uses seem endless!
