Did you say you just started?

I might wait a little time to introduce that - not everyone can introduce that

right

away successfully. Use your judgement.

Coconut butter is really, really good but it's a nutbutter so I'd start slowly.

I'm pretty sure there's a difference between the two. They are two different products from Artisana.http://www.premierorganics.org/index.php?option=com_content & task=view & id=82 & Itemid=35From: n Van Til To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon,

Coconut butter is pureed coconut meat. It has carbs, fat and protein and is quite fibrous. It should probably be treated like a nut butter since it's of similar make up.Coconut oil is just the fat from coconut. It is fine to consume right from the intro diet. 

Both are delicious!Kat

Is this coconut cream concentrate from Tropical Traditions considered " coconut

butter? " In the description of it, and how it's prepared, I would think it's the

same, but not totally sure about this. Does anyone know b/c I am thinking of

buying some and using it to make candy:)

Yes, coconut cream concentrate is coconut butter. Just pureed coconut meat. It's great for making candy mixed with a bit of honey.Kat

Do you just melt it some in the microwave? I have put some in my hands and tried to melt it. Maybe my hands are too cold - this last jar is just so crumbly!

I usually sit some on the stovetop.  Not on the burner though, just close enough for it to melt.  It doesn't take very much heat to melt it.  I used to get a spoonful and it gets melty in my hand. 

 

I have the raw, organic Artisana Coconut Butter.  I have a jar in the cabinet and if I'm cooking with it near the stove it melts.  (I'm in Houston, everything melts though).

 

I haven't microwaved it because I thought it would kill off the good stuff.  Depending on how much you need, what about a glass bowl over simmering water and whisk it as it melts?  

 

Hope that helps.  If not, do you have a small pan you can just heat it stovetop?

Also you can place the whole jar into a pot of hot water and it will melt as well -- and no it doesn't affect it's shelf life. Definitely wouldn't put it into the microwave.AmeliaTo: btvc-scd <BTVC-SCD >Sent: Thu, October 7, 2010 3:02:29 AMSubject: Coconut butter

I have another coconut butter question. When you get a brand new jar it seems like it's in 2 layers - a very white layer on the top 1 inch of the jar and the actual butter below it. I can't exactly stir it. It's way to hard. What do I do w/the stuff on top? I really don't like the consistency of it. Should I heat the whole jar then try and mix it together?

Hi Marla,

It's just the fat on the top (oil) that separates.

You could heat it- I don't know what your endgame is for the butter though since

there are different medicinal properties when consumed raw. And in general it

is not good to keep reheating the same thing over and over.

You can also like scoop the top out and put it in a different jar (which is what

I do!) and leave some in and mix it..

It also depends on the time of year I deal with this due to weather.

I'd love to hear what other SCD'ers do.

Good question!

They have instructions about this on Tropical Traditions. Apparently

the oil (at the top) settles out during shipping. So they say to put

the jar in a deep pan with warm water in it until you can easily

stick a knife blade all the way down. Then it's softened enough to

mix back together. After that it stays (at least at my house) and it

does make the coconut solids part at the bottom somewhat softer. If

you live in a warm area it might be spreadable but no coconut product

is spreadable in the northwest! Not unless we have a major major heat

wave for awhile.

I use Artisana Organic Raw Coconut butter and it doesn't separate.  I live in Texas so it doesn't take much to warm enough to spread. 

 

Is it like peanut butter where you can turn the jar upside down and let the oil go to the top?  Maybe warm it gently, turn upside down, mix it then refrigerate or something so it stays mixed.  Just an idea--I don't know if that would work.

I don't know if turning upside down would work but let us know if you try

it (assuming you have some non-separated stuff sometime). In my northwest

climate all coconut oil/butter products are hard so I don't think it

would. Though peanut butter does. Here at least, it does need a

gentle warming so you can stir it up but it isn't exactly a huge job to

do this.
