:Actually, I mentioned that I did like the smell and taste of coconut in the

virgin

:coconut oil. However, I don't want EVERYTHING I cook in it to necessarily

:taste and smell like coconuts. If I did, I would simply eat :coconuts all day.

:No puzzle here, really....

I think I read somewhere that palm oil and palm butter are odorless, tasteless,

and contain similar medium chain fats as well as being less expensive than

the virgin CocoNut oil. You might consider the palm butter where the

coconut oil wouldn't be appropriate due to the coconut aroma. The butter is

supposed to have slightly more of the medium chain saturated fats than the

oil.

Does palm oil have lauric acid too? Just curious.
