I tested the Coconut Oil for cooking tonight. I used it for frying french fries. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It smelled so clean & fresh, reminding me of the beach & suntan lotion. Mmmm! This was a wonderful replacement to the usual scent of cooking oils! When the fries were finished cooking, I placed them on a paper towel on a glass plate. I instantly noticed that they were NOT greasy unlike every other time I fry food! Incredible! The french fries tasted great! They were very crisp and not a bit "greasy"! I love this Coconut Oil! I would highly recommend this product over the usual vegetable and cooking oils! I still can't get over the fabulous scent!
I advise my readers to check out this fabulous video on how Tropical Traditions discovered this unique oil!!!

ReplyDeleteAs 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. SWEET!

the natural method was from the older generation who used to extract the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours!

ReplyDeleteIt's NATURALLY extracted as opposed to refined, better for the environment, as well as yourself!
ReplyDeleteI love that they get their coconut oil from the Philippines! I'm a big supporter of globalization and global trade so its great that they are such an important part of it and they are helping the Filipino economy and coconut farmers. :)
