where can I buy coconut oil? I've looked at Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc. and

can't find it. Thanks.

" Is vegetable shortening Ok made from pine oil ? "

I have never heard of pine oil. I think the most common

subsitute for butter is coconut oil.

It tends to be " wetter " . So, use just 3/4 of the called-for amount.

1 cup butter = 3/4 cup coconut oil

Coconut oil is a semi-solid opaque oil that is purchased in jar

resembling mayonnaise jars.

I buy Spectrum brand coconut oil at Wild Oats..... and/or at my local market.

We also have a local natural foods chain that carries another brand that I

really like from Omega Nutrition. I've bought it off the shelf but you can order

through their website, too. www.omeganutrition.com is their main informational

site and www.omegahealthstore.com is their online store. It's a very nice

quality coconut oil (they have other nutritional oils, too). I think I really

like it better than Spectrum's.

I used to get my coconut oil from Whole Foods, but I have been going through so

much of it. I now order it from Tropical Traditions on line. See

www.tropicaltraditions.com

I also get their coconut flakes. You can get free shipping of you spend $50

I've bought coconut oil at Trader Joe's (in my store, it's across the

aisle from the nutbutters). Whole Foods carries Spectrum brand' s

coconut oil.
