Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Is raw extra virgin oil coconut supposed to be better refrigerated or not? I had it refrigerated and recently noticed the bottle said not to refrigerate. I don't want it to go rancid. I wish I'd found it sooner. It's sooo good. debbie 40 cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Debbie,I just leave mine on the counter. Whenever I need some oil, I just plunk the jar into a pan of very hot tap water and within minutes it is in a liquid state (I live in a cold climate). After awhile of sitting out again, it is hard once more.If there isn't any mold, you are most likely o.k., just don't refrigerate it in the future.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19monthsLDN 3 mgFrom: Debbie To: btvc-scd <BTVC-SCD >; SCDiet Sent: Mon, February 8, 2010 6:35:05 PMSubject: Coconut Oil Q Is raw extra virgin oil coconut supposed to be better refrigerated or not?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 It doesn't need refrigeration and unless you live in a very hot climate it is hard enough at room temperature to dig out. It's like a brick just out of the frig. Unlike many things, coconut oil has a very long shelf life at room temperature, I suppose because it's tropical and lasts there OK.

I can state that the coconut oil which arrived the week before Hurricane Katrina did not die from being un-airconditioned or refrigerated for about five weeks in August and September in New Orleans. It didn't go with us when we evacuated. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 That's the hottest time of the year and the most humid so I guess sitting on the counter in Feb is not going to hurt anything ;-).
