coconut oil So I would really love to get some coconut oil to use for all the numerus stuff it is good for.. Can anyone recommend good brands to get or were to find it at the store? Cooking or beauty isles? |
I love coconut oil! I buy whatever brand is the cheapest that is both virgin and organic but I know a lot of people are loyal to Nutiva. I've never noticed a big difference between brands. I get it in the cooking isle with the other oils. Usually the type in the beauty isle is regular coconut oil, not virgin. |
Dumb question I know but I don't cook or really like to go to the grocery store so where do you get coconut oil from?? Like what section is it in? |

Whadya peeps use the Coconut Oil for? I've been hearing SO much about it! Fill me in! :D |
I get mine at the health food store. Garden of Life is the brand of pure virgin, organic coconut oil that was recommended to me by Sissy's nutritionist. She gets 1/4-1/2 tsp mixed in with her food once a day (I melt it in the microwave first as it is solid). We use this instead of adding a squirt of salmon oil as coconut oil has a lower fat content and many healing properties for the digestive system. It is also great to rub on their coats!!!! |

I also mix a tiny bit with raw sugar for a body scrub. A lot of people like it as a hair mask but it doesn't work for me (thin, fine hair) or Lauren (thick, course hair)- I don't know why because it seems to work great for some people. What's everyone else doing with it? |
Oh Ann, just thought of another thing since you're a baker. I've heard it's really great as the fat in baked dessert type foods. I don't bake often so I haven't tried it but I've read you use less coconut oil to replace veggie oil or butter. |
