I’ll be the first to admit, I have never used Coconut Oil in the kitchen…in lotions, body scrubs, and on occasion, shampoo…but to cook with Coconut Oil never crossed my mind until this past month. Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, generously provided me with a jar of their Virgin Coconut Oil and let me tell ya, I have learned so much!!
This coconut oil meets their strictest standards and is made by hand, benefiting families in the rural areas of the Philippines where the coconuts grow. So what makes it so unique? Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is:
- Unrefined
- Certified Organic
- Hand-picked
- Grown on rich volcanic soils
- High in phenolic antioxidants
- Wet milled and cold pressed – never processed with heat or chemicals
The taste? Well, it definitely tastes like Coconut. But not as strong as you would think. It looks like Crisco in can, when you open the jar, in fact. Which leads to what you use it for…Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use.
It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.
