Re: VCO - soapy taste

[Guest guest]

I have never tried VCO from Garden of Life, but I have tried several

different kinds and the only one I like the taste of is VCO India

from Wilderness Family Naturals (or www.coconutoil-online.com or

Creme de Coco; all same manufacturer with different distributers).

The taste of their VCO is fresh, without any rancid smell to it which

I detect with other kinds of VCO's I've tried. The VCO I like must be

the VCO of my choice probably because it is not heated or fermented.

It uses centrifugal method that spins off all the moisture (from what

I read) and it really has a fresh coconut smell to the oil.

Also someone mentioned expeller pressed VCO from Tropical Traditions.

Just about all the expeller pressed are heated and most often

deodorized and bleached (some with chemicals). I bet that's still

better than using vegetable oil from supermarkets (I do use the

expeller pressed for dishes I do not want any strong coconut flavor),

but I just wanted to say non virgin oil is not as powerful as VCO in

healing properties, etc.

I like VCO in soups and stews. (Even the lousy soups/stews from the

company cafeteria becomes tasty with VCO.) I also like to use it in

place of butter on toasts.
