Re: Coconut oil... let's see where the bargains are!

[Guest guest]

Looks good, Kat. Here are Bee's coconut oil requirements:

" Buy a good quality virgin or extra virgin 'unrefined' coconut oil that is cold-

or expeller-pressed, unrefined, unbleached, undeodorized and non-hydrogenated. "

(tho there is no such thing as " extra virgin " coconut oil; that term is only

valid with olive oil.)

Just a bit cheaper than I've been able to find Nutiva; will have to compare

shipping costs.

Thanks!

Free shipping on orders over $49 (special) makes the cost of an ounce 37 cents.

The coconut oil at Jedwards, even with their ridiculously high shipping, costs

$0.34/ounce.

+++ April - I hope if you know of better prices, you'll share them here.

The lowest I've found is about $0.34/oz shipped and I do believe the quality is

similar to Nutiva.

I have purchased Bali Sun for less than the price you found, but not for

less than the Jedward. Do you know anything about that brand?

+++Hi Adri,

Yes, that coconut oil is good, even though it says it is refined. This is what

they say about it.

Re: Refined Coconut Oil:

Tropical Traditions Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil DOES NOT use solvent extracts.

It is made the " old " way by expeller-pressed mechanical extraction. This oil is

also NOT hydrogenated, and contains NO trans fatty acids. It is a very good

quality food-grade coconut oil.

Tropical Traditions Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil is made from certified

organic coconuts that have NOT been treated with chemicals or fertilizers. It is

certified organic according to European and USDA standards.

Our Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil is high in the medium chain fatty

acids, such as Lauric acid.

Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil is less expensive than Virgin Coconut Oil,

and because it goes through a steam deodorizing process the taste is very bland,

unlike Virgin Coconut Oil which retains the odor and taste of fresh coconuts.

Some people prefer a bland, tasteless oil. This coconut oil is solid below 76

degrees F. and liquid above that.

All the best, Bee

Hi Kat,

The last time I ordered coconut oil, I ordered a container of Nutiva and a

container of the NSI (from Vitacost). I couldn't tell any difference between the

two, and the NSI brand was a bit cheaper.

Not personally, just a recommendation that it 'tastes like Nutiva' only

cheaper...

Hi L,

Thank you for your answer, I will try another brand because I live in France so

they would not be able to replace it if I have a problem.

All the best, Adri.

(refined) TT oil.

liked it. So I purchased three gallons. But when those 3 gallons arrived, they

smelled horrible. They sent me three more (at no charge). They also smelled

horrible. They finally replaced them (for free) with their green label oil,

which is " OK " but I'm sure Nutiva is less costly and 'just as good'. So

customer service - excellent. Refined CO...not so much... I don't even want to

use the stuff on my skin, it smells so badly. I feed it to my dogs and

chickens...

Is there a temp that is too high for coconut oil to be stored in? I leave

mine out and it is always liquid. If I put it in the fridge, it is too hard

to use. It gets up to 90 degrees in my house ( so far)

I am asking because I am thinking of trying the one from Vitacost as it is

so cheap and seems to fit the standards, but I am wondering if I should use

standard shipping which takes 3 to 6 days. I don't know how the ones I buy

at the store are shipped to the store.

Right now I pay about $14 for 16 ounces. It is very good (Natures Way

EfaGold, it smells heavenly and tastes good too) but if I can get it

cheaper, and still have it be good, I will. :-)

Has anyone *tried* this one yet? :-)

Hi,

I haven't tried the Vitacost coconut oil. Perhaps someone else can comment on

that.

It's fine to keep coconut oil on the countertop in a warm house. Imagine that

for centuries people in the warm climates of Asian nations have kept coconut oil

without refrigeration. Coconut oil is known to keep for two years without going

bad, so I think standard shipping is fine.

Hate to re-visit an old topic, but I'm all about bargains - has anyone tried the

Jedward CO? I'm afraid to try anything but the Nutiva, since I know I like that

one!

Hi, :

I switched to the Mountain Rose coconut oil, and it is just fine; last time I

ordered it was about $50 to $51, including shipping.

I am considering ordering an additional gallon, and I think I will get it from

Jedward, just to see how it is. Looks like Jedward will take a week or more to

get to me. I will post about Jedward once I have actually received and tasted

their coconut oil.

If money were no object, I might stick with Nutiva (their service is good), but

I object to paying as much as $35 more for just one gallon of coconut oil.

Nutiva is good, but IMO it's not that much better than anything else I've tried.

asked:

*** - I've ordered three gallons from Jedwards and expect it within the

week; I'll post an update once I open it.
