Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Kristi, Hi ! Greetings from the Philippines ! For our intake (ingestion), it highly desirable to use the good quality virgin coconut oil (VCO), as well as for application on our skin and hair. A practical test for a quality VCO: it is crystal white (liquid state) or snow white (solid state at low temp., normally at lower than 24 degree celsius), with the weak natural smell of coconut oil, and does not give a feeling of a " catch throat " ( or an itchy condition inside your throat upon drinking/ingesting the VCO). While for cooking/frying use, it should be ok to use the unexpensive coconut edible oil also called the odorless/tasteless RBD (refined, bleached and deodorize), In both the VCO (derived or extracted from mature fresh coconut meat) and RBD coconut oil (cooking oil from dried coconut meat or copra), the very important lauric medium chain saturated fatty acid (C12) in coconut oil contents (48 -52% lauric acid) remains the same. Hoping, you get the practical application ot tips from this message. Cheers, Sev Magat krcarter66 <krcarter66@...> wrote: I use the expensive, virgin coconut oil for cooking and eating.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I recently got a gallon of Nutiva coconut oil for $49 including shipping from here: http://www26.netrition.com/cgi/prices.cgi?manu_id=250. I think the quality compares well to similar forms from Tropical Traditions or Wilderness Family Naturals. cheap coconut oil http://tinyurl. com/6fnpra http://www.glorybee foods.com/ I have not ordered from them so I don't know about the quality.
