Re: Cooking coconut oil?

[Guest guest]

Bee,

Does it matter if you use the coconut oil in cooking or take it straight out of

the jar? Does cooking destroy or diminish any of the benefits in fighting

candida?

Foods List:

.. Ground up meats, i.e. poultry, pork, beef, lamb, etc.

.. Vegetables on the Food's List except for green leafy vegetables. Green

leafy vegetables take a very long time to cook properly, 50 minutes or more,

so it best not to include them when pureeing foods.

Procedure:

1. Cook ground up meats in coconut oil on low heat, or cook them in water,

just until they are cooked to medium. Do not overcook meats since it binds

the protein molecules closer together which makes them more difficult to

digest.

2. Vegetables should be well-cooked so their cell walls (fibers) are broken

down releasing the nutrients in them, which is when they can be easily

mashed with a fork - see Raw Versus Cooked Carbs (Plant Foods):

3. Put cooked foods into a blender or food processor, either separately or

together, as desired, with enough liquid so they will puree into a thick

smooth baby-food-like consistency.

The best in health, Bee

+++Hi

You can consume cooked coconut oil as long as it doesn't burn. Coconut oil is

not easily damaged by heat. (It has a smoking point of 177°C or 350°F. No

cooking oil should be heated above its smoking point.) Unrefined CO does not

readily oxidise (degraded by oxygen) like unsaturated oils (plant oils) do when

heated. It is the ideal oil for deep frying and is safe to use several times

over - See this reference:

mlIt has a high burning point.

Meats must be cooked on low heat only until they are medium, so they are easier

to digest - I fry meats on #2 on my stove dial, which is very low heat.

You can also pour CO over meats and vegetables after they are cooked, make

mayonnaise and marinades with it, or Bee's Egg Drink:
