We are hooked on coconut oil! I use it all the time. There are really only 2 oils we use in the house and that is olive and coconut. I do keep butter around for certain things but my first choice whenever I bake, fry or cook is coconut oil. I have even been known to add it to my coffee!
Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is beautiful and fruity, it smells just like a fresh coconut. Since it is still a bit cool here, my bottle of Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil is quite solid, but I’m sure as it warms up around here it will begin to melt. I don’t know why, but I love to open the jar and find liquid coconut oil waiting for me. There is something so luxurious and exotic about that.
Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil is 100% organic virgin coconut oil from the Philippines. And as I said I like to use it to bake and fry with. I used it recently to fry corn tortillas for our taco dinner the other night. But Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil can also be used as a moisturizer for your skin and hair. I have several friends who swear by it for taming their frizzy curly hair. They simply take a small amount of the oil, rub it in their palms to warm it up and rake their fingers through their hair. To use it as a moisturizer simply warm a small amount in your hands and rub over your skin.
Tropical Traditions does have a slight coconut flavor, but my boys like it so much they actually ask for a spoonful of it whenever they see I have it out. Of course I indulge them. You can visit Tropical Traditions website and get all sorts of wonderful recipes using coconut oil. But Tropical Traditions doesn’t stop there, their website has EVERYTHING you can imagine from soaps to swing machines!
You just reminded me that I have some of this in the cupboard!

I’ve been hearing about Coconut Oil all over the web (FB, Twitter, instagram, etc) recently. It’s so weird how it’s been around forever and it seems like it’s just now catching on.

Coconut oil has so many health benefits, especially over other traditional oils. It’s great to know it’s becoming more popular.
