I just bought this wonderful Nutiva coconut oil after hearing Dr. Jonny Bowden talk about coconut oil and all the benifits it contains. This has got to be the most delectable on the planet it smells like heaven and tastes sooooo good. I bake and cook with it, and after reading all the rave reviews about it being used as butter and on the hair and skin I will never buy anything but this again. Bye Bye Crisco, hello Nutiva.

Nutiva 54 oz Organic Coconut Oil Review

By Mir from North Miami Beach, FL USA

This organic coconut oil is a marvelous product with some interesting health benefits (google it up). You can use it in baking, frying, in sauces, for vegan raw pies, mix with chocolate for puddings, moisturize your hair or skin, soothe rough elbows, etc.

This melts really fast in a pan, so you don’t need a high heat. I fry eggs in it, and the coconut taste is subtle. Any ethnic dish that requires sauteeing or saucing and can benefit from a fresh coconut flavor, this is useful. I’ve cooked meats in it, as well. If you hate the smell/taste of coconut, obviously, this is not for you.

This brand, Nutiva, is organic and virgin. It smells so good. And I have an old jar that I never finished (really big one), and nearly two years later, after sitting right by the stove, it still smells fresh, like Cuban coconut candy my mom used to make. Yes, solid and fresh and white and fragrant TWO YEARS LATER. This is a very stable product. NUTIVA makes the best coconut oil I’ve tried.

Larger size a bargain for beautifully fresh smelling, versatile, organic, extra virgin coconut oil–and this is the BEST brand.

Nutiva Coconut Oil Product Review

coconutPosted on Amazon Reviews, June 19, 2009
By Aka ” Bookworm”

I got interested in Coconut Oil after reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, a wonderful book. After reviewing a few other brands of CO, I decided on this one. It has been a godsend in every way.

1. Tastes great – I use Nutiva in my day to day cooking. For those worried about the strong coconut taste, I’ve found that if I use it in less stronger flavored foods like toast or oatmeal, the coconut flavor is marked (and delicious in my opinion, but I understand it’s not for everyone.)However, when I use in my regular cooking which is usually with a lot of spices etc. I can’t taste it at all. Also, if you don’t like the taste, you can use it with olive oil (one part olive oil, one part coconut oil) and you’ll still get the benefits of this wonderful oil.

2. Beauty applications – I used Nutiva ONCE in my hair (kept it overnight and washed the next morning) and my previous hair loss was reduced by 50%. Each time I’ve used it, I’ve lost less hair. It also is a marvellous massage oil that leaves your skin looking better than before – probably due to its antibacterial & antifungal properties which work on facial blemishes.

3. Medicinal – I suffer from eczema and I’d grown very very tired of the topical steroid creams not working for me. Not to mention I was worried about how the steroid was being absorbed into my bloodstream too. The last time I had an eczema breakout I applied coconut oil as a trial. Usually it takes me anywhere from 2-6 weeks to completely diffuse the breakout. With the Nutiva CO, it was gone in 2 days. BRILLIANT! My life’s so much easier with this. Also, whenever I’ve had any type of skin breakout, applying Nutiva CO has provided instant and long lasting relief.

3 Top Health Benefits of Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil

Unrefined virgin coconut oil is one of the fastest selling health foods on the market today, and probably one that you haven’t heard about. Not too long ago, scientists were warning people to stay away from things like coconut oil, because they were full of saturated fat. Saturated fat was thought to clog arteries and cause problems like strokes, heart attacks, and hardening of the arteries.

09Now, we know this to be untrue. It’s trans fats, not saturated ones, that are the problem, and many communities are taking steps to ban trans fats from their borders. Saturated fats in virgin coconut oil  are  “ medium-chain fats” and thus eaiser for our body to process compared to long chain soy and canola oils.

(CLICK HERE to read more about Coconut Oil Myths & Nutrition.)

It has many impressive and proven health benefits, some of which you may not even have known about.  Here are the 3 top uses of coconut oil.

  • Cooking oil—Did you know close to a billion people use coconut oil  for cooking ? And those people who follow a traditional diet of coconut oil, rice, veggies, herbs, fruits, and fish have low incidents  of heart disease or obesity  ? That’s why there are so many coconut oil weight loss websites around these days. Coconut oil is ideal for cooking eggs, fish, veggies or chicken. Also try coconut oil  with baking yams or root vegetables. Adding a pinch of sales or dried herbs reduces the natural coconut sweetness.
  • Dry Skin and Hair-Many people suffer from dry, scaly skin and brittle hair. Today’s low-fat craze has caused many cases of dry skin and hair. Try adding healthy fats to your diet. You can also put the oil directly on your skin or hair. Another tip is to use as luscious massage oil.
  • Butter replacement– Coconut oil is an excellent butter substitute- and tastes great. Try organic coconut oil on toast or melted over oatmeal or veggies and rice. Adding coconut oil over fresh hot popcorn will make your friends and family beg for more ! All you need to do to get these benefits is to know where to buy coconut oil, and luckily, its increasing popularity as many places have coconut oil for sale.

Coconut oil: The Real Story

Coconut oil’s amazing nutritional qualities and why it was demonized.

Since the 1960s, coconut oil has been unfairly labeled as “unhealthy.” The media reported studies of how tropical coconut oils were laden with artery-clogging fats. What wasn’t reported was the fact that the coconut oil used in the studies was hydrogenated – not the virgin oil used for centuries as a staple food. We now know it’s hydrogenation – artificially adding a hydrogen molecule to oils in order to make them shelf-stable – that’s the problem, not coconut oil. Hydrogenated soy, corn, and canola oils – loaded with dangerous trans-fats and processed with toxic hexane solvents – are routinely added to packaged foods. Hydrogenation fattened corporate profits and American waistlines, and is now linked with diseases. [click to continue…]
