Rookie Question on Coconut Oil

[Guest guest]

I'm confused. Using coconut oil is new to me so I'm still learning

a ton. The first coconut oil I bought was TT VCO. You may remember

a couple weeks back I posted about using it to scramble eggs and

that was a disaster. I got the idea from a kind person on this

thread to melt it with some cocoa powder and a little sweetner and

pop it in the freezer. That was much better in terms of " getting it

down " .

In the meantime, I went back to TT and purchased some of their

Organic Expeller Pressed CO. This does not have the strong coconut

flavor and I have been using it in place of butter and oil in

cooking and even stirring some into oatmeal and other foods I

can " hide " it in. It has no effect on flavor at all so it has

worked quite nice for me.

My question is, am I getting the same benefits from the tasteless

expeller pressed oil that one would get from VCO? I'm not sure I am

understanding the difference. From what I have read, as long as

it's not like super-duper refined it still has the benefits, right?

I want to be sure I am understanding correctly. If it does have the

same benefits then this is too good to be true...I get the benefits

AND I don't sacrifice the taste of any of my foods!

Can anyone offer some insight on this for me, please? I would

really appreciate it.
