Hi Nithya. Bruce Fife is the coconut oil expert and he writes that

the melting temperature of coconut oil is 76 degrees, so maybe that

coconut oil company is incorrect. However, the melting temperature

doesn't matter. It simply means it will go liquid at that

temperature, and nothing more.

Yes, your coconut oil is quite fine.

I grew up amongst coconut groves in India as we lived by the coast -  used loads

of coconut in cooking almost everyday starting with breakfast. Used it for

massaging hair and body before bath etc. After a huge scare of high cholesterol,

the Indian society shunned the coconut and now uses very sparingly and /or

switched to peanut, sunflower or safflower oil. I understand that it can

withstand high heat which is one of the primary reasons that I stayed away from

it and used canola oil instead.

If any one needs help with de-hulling tips, or cooking with coconut write to me

off-line. There are so many ways you can use it in cooking.

I will ask my extended family back home to switch right away. I will be hard to

convince as almost everyone thinks coconut = high cholesterol :(

When we were taking pills, we generally took it all at once. These

days, I cook with it. We get less coconut oil now than we used to.

It was critical for about two years to our healing process. At the

moment, we are going through quite a lot of organic butter, which is

another thing that we find is a " healthy fat " which does something

good for us. We don't have many standard American oils in our home,

like canola, peanut oil, corn oil, crisco, etc. I currently have

three things to cook with: Organic coconut oil, organic butter, and

organic olive oil.

I generally recommend you start at a low dose, like maybe 1/2 teaspoon

(or even less), see how someone tolerates it, ramp up gradually. It

can promote diarrhea and that can be a pretty negative experience if

you start out with a high dose up front. I know a mom who started

with a tablespoon a day and the child had such horrible, messy bm's

she was ready to give up on coconut oil entirely because of having to

clean up huge messes.

Just to add from my experience. My Naturopathic DAN! Dr. suggested 1 tablespoon

(yes working up to it and seeing how your child responds is a good idea - my

daughter is 5 years old and 35 pds). She also suggested that we don't

necessarily cook with it but drizzle it on the cooked food so that we receive

the highest benefits the oil has to offer . The heat will change the

effectiveness of the coconut oil. We tend to steam most of our food so this

works well. We use it in the treatment of fungal infections (Candida). Make

sure you are using the Virgin Cold-pressed unrefined NON-Hydrogenated.

Happy Cooking

Both coconut oil and sea salt lose some of their benefits when heated

too long. I do outright cook with both of them, keeping in mind that

coconut oil is not for high heat cooking. For example, I have found it

is fine to use it in place of other oils/fats for frying food on

medium heat and we routinely use it to coat glass bakeware in place of

using crisco (which is what I grew up doing). But, like with sea

salt, I also at times add it in to the dish near the end of

preparation. That's what we do when we use it in mashed potatoes.

Thanks.

I can't remember the last time I deep fried anything, so that is not

something I have had any reason to look into. What I have heard is

that coconut oil is for medium heat and not good at high heat.

Hi ,

I usually get ORPHEE. like to purchase in a glass jar vs the plastic when I

can. I dont know if its the best but its the best I can get at our local

organics store. We use a lot of it.

I agree with you. If I was going to cook at a high heat I would still use

coconut oil and never olive oil. I have never deepfried with it. However, it is

overall an excellent oil if not the best to use in almost all cases. Its is

just better for you if used at a low temperature.

Your Welcome

In regards to cooking with coconut oil.....

I never cook higher than medium temps.

Because the gluten free breads are so dense I add the flare to my

son's school lunch sandwiches and grill them in a cast iron pan. His

favorites are grilled sunflower butter and simply fruit spread, raw

cheddar goat cheese and ham, or just plan raw goat cheese for his

version of the famous grilled cheese. The coconut oil really gives

the samdwich a great flavor and toast the bread to perfection!

My favorite brands and Nutivia, fruitrients or the brand Dr. Mercola

sells on his web. mercola.com

Coconut oil also makes the BEST popcorn! Heat oil (generous amounts

to cover the bottom of pan) on medium heat, put one kernel of corn in

the pan (I use cast iron), wait until this pops then add 1/4 cup of

ORGANIC popcorn,cover, stand, and shake (the pan that is, lol) remove

from heat and add popcorn salt. ENJOY!

P.S You'll never go back to movie theater (deathdrogonated) popcorn

again!. Hope you all get to try this!

Your kids will be thankful. Laurie

+++Hi. What is your name? No, coconut oil is not kept in the fridge

since it keeps 2 years or more at room temperature. It is also easier

to use when it is liquid. In the fridge it goes solid, or when it is

kept in lower than room temperature.

Hi Joanne. Take all of the time your body needs in order to get up to

the recommended doses of coconut oil. Some people can take 6 months to

a year. Don't be concerned that it takes you longer, since the diet

and supplements will still be healing in the meantime.

Ensure your VCO is unrefined, undeodorized, unbleached and cold- or

expeller-pressed.

I started with a tsp and let it melt and coat my mouth for as long as I could

keep it there... I now use a tbsp and do the same. It should be done at least

once a day but sometimes I do more often, play around with it and see what works

for you. I have a very strong constitution so it doesn't take me long to adapt

to something and I've been practicing natural health methods since my early

30's, I'm now 55.

I've tried different coconut oils and the best tasting I've found for eating

right from the jar is found on Dr. Mercola's site, it is " Fresh Shores " . I use

other brands for cooking like Spectrum (organic) Whatever brand you find check

to make sure it is cold pressed and centrifuge extracted.

I also use coconut milk to coat my mouth too, very good stuff and very effective

on yeast over-growth. It is the .

Spice,

Coconut oil is very good for the body, and effective for treating Candida. If I

had an infection in my tonsils I would probably do several natural things to see

what was the most effective and sometimes it is a combination that works. I

would take Colloidal Silver orally.. gargle.... in between it's use I would also

use the coconut oil and let it coat my mouth and throat. Then I would add a

good probiotic that has at least a count of 10 billion. I would also

systematically drink pure water, (4oz every 30 min for about 8 to 10 hr), and

maybe make part of it lemon water.

To this I would maybe take some epsom salts baths, time permitting, soaking for

at least a minimum of 30 mins.

Of course my diet would be whole organics, but lightly steamed instead of raw

because my digestion would probably be stressed due to the infection and cooked

is easier to digest. If my body couldn't digest the food it would just pass

through without the benefit of the nutritients. More alternatives would be

grapeseed extract, olive leaf, 3% food grade perioxide, increased C, D, & E. and

REST.

Just sharing some ideas, use what makes sense, leave the rest.

I was at the Vitamin Shoppe a couple weeks ago and they had Spectrum brand

coconut oil, 14oz jar for $5.99.  The Vitamin Shoppe brand was $11.  I compared

the labels and they were just about the same, I think Spectrum was even a little

better.  I like to put it on toast.

Do you know what the Vitamin Shoppe charges for coconut oil. I used to get it

a Vitamin Shoppe near me so I would like to know more about the one they have. I

also loved it on popcorn. I didn't even need to add salt, it was so tasty.
