Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 The settlings are just that part of the small ground husk that is too small to filter out. It adds a little fiber, but should pose no problem. , selling coconut oil in Panama. Nutiva sediment Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 04:30:24 -0500 Nutiva has an interesting property which other coconut oils I have tried do not. When my shipment arrives in cool weather, the jars are rock solid. Same as all coconut oil. But after sitting in my warm kitchen for days or weeks, it liquefies, but at the bottom of the jar is a fine layer of solid particles. If I decant most of the VCO, then shake the jar, the sediment disperses, making the VCO cloudy until it settles out again. My kitchen is generally 82 to 90F. The cloudy VCO tastes no different than the clear oil I decant off. This seems to me to indicate that Nutiva contains something which the other brands remove. Not sure what it is, or if it is particularly useful, but I am curious. Alobar ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Seems not to fiber but a wax. If I decant several times so I can get a spoonful of the particles, they have no roughness in my mouth and either melt at body temperature or just slide down in my throat.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Alobar, Would you recommend the Nutiva VCO over Garden of Eden and Wilderness Family Naturals?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I like WFN centrifuged oil a lot, but unless I have the cash to buy a 5 gallon bucket, the cost plus shipping is very high. I never tried Garden of Eden oil. Vitacost has a good price for Nutiva oil.
