How to ingest coconut oil

I got my coconut oil through the post today and I'm really excited to see if it

benefits my skin problem but I was surprised to find it doesn't taste very

'coconutie' I thought I'd be able to just eat a spoonful but, ergh, it's not

that nice!

I was wondering how people take theirs and how much do you take per day?

I put some in the recipe I cooked for tea tonight but I it won't always be

practical to do this... Any ideas?

Thanks

some brands are probably more coconutie tasting than others. I cook with it every day and my foods don't turn out to be coconut tasting...I like the taste of Garden of Life product but will try Nutiva as some say it's so good here. When I take a spoon or so of the GOL product, I can taste the coconut pretty good. joyce

I would suggest looking at the recipe book by Sweet Gratitude (don't use Irish

Moss/Carageenan though - they have this in their recipes and it's been tied to

intestinal inflammation. I subsititute ground chia seeds). They do some really

innovative things with coconut oil. I am allergic to many foods, so instead of

using dairy, I'll use coconut oil and blended cashews (if they are soaked for a

couple hours and blended with water, they turn into a whipped cream consistency

- odd but yummy). I am raw vegan, but one doesn't have to have such a strict

diet to enjoy the desserts, which are really quite tasty.

Coconut oil can also be used for cooking as a substitute for shortening or

butter. I've used in baking and pan frying. It has a much higher burn temp

than other oils and is safer. Burned oil = carcinogen.

1-3 tablespoons per day; start out low, and work your way up.

The more " coconutty " it tastes, the higher heat it has been subjected to in

processing. I had to learn the hard way, I love coconutty too.

But the less it's been heated, despite having more of what's good for you,

it seems then that it is more likely to cause the infamous throat irritation

if you allow it to melt in your mouth and savor it.

I have hit on a compromise...

I will keep WFN's best centrifuged oil (processed at not above 79F) to take

by spoonful and to use in our cooked steel cut oats or anything else we want

to cook with coconut oil. While this oil does cause me pretty bad throat

irritation, I have been able to overcome that by swallowing it quick, purely

for the health benefits*. When it is otherwise well heated, as in oats, it

does not irritate my throat.

But for spreading on toasted Ezekiel bread, and for the occasional

just-gotta-have-that-coconutty-taste craving, I will keep Nutiva around.

Recent info on this group indicated that it is processed at 170F but that

was a misreading of the info on their website. It is processed at not over

113F. Apparently that is enough to bring up the taste and stop the throat

irritation.

Apparently, just the residual heat in our oats when we add WFN centrifuged

VCO to them, is enough to stop the throat irritation problem. I would guess

that any VCO that is causing throat irritation to anyone might be cured by

mildly heating the oil. Sure you lose some of the goodness but at least you

get some goodness.

*What benefits? I was able to tell that WFN Centrifuged VCO was cleaning out

my carotid arteries and my BP went down. Much more to this, that's not all I

did for BP, but it was an important part.

Just to be clear about WFN's oil, I'm talking about their highest price oil.

Yeah, keeping two VCO's in the house is not want I want to do either, but

I'm convinced now of all the benefits of doing so. OK. Maybe I could divvy

up my WFN VCO and heat some of it, but that's even more trouble than buying

two brands.

I have *NEVER* gotten throat irritation from any WFN coconut oil. I

have used at least 3 5-gallon pails of WFN centifuged oil over the

years.

This book looks really interesting, and I'm always looking for healthy ways to feed my sweet tooth.....

can you say a little more about Irish moss/inflammation...??

also, if you substitute chia seeds--how do you do them, soak, what proportion..?

are you using chia seeds every time it calls for Irish moss...?

I've tried a number of different brands of coconut oil. By far the

tastiest, like fresh cream butter, is Nature's Way, EfaGold, Organic

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Might be a tad more expensive than some,

but well worth it. I get mine from Swanson Vitamins, but you can

find other sources. It adds a nice flavor (and aroma) to my fried

eggs, and a teaspoon in a cup of chocolate tastes great...for me anyway.

Alobar- I'm glad for that for you and anybody else it works for. It rips my

throat up but good. Sure- it must be an individual thing. BUT- it is

certainly not the only one to have done so. Every VCO I've tried except

Nutiva has done it to me. A while back I was raving about the great taste of

NOW brand but it did it to me also.

Some say it's rancidity in the oil. I'm not proposing that. I truly don't

know. But if it is true, then I'm a Canary in a mine.

I'll be the first to admit it is very likely to be an individual response. I

was a heavy smoker (quit 21 years ago).

I worked outside in the sea-coast cold and as the " boss " I shouted a lot. I

used to have terrific respiratory infections. My throat, particularly my

Uvula, has been damaged by a particularly severe bout of strep about 20

years ago. An ENT Doc looked at my uvula and said " that thing is HUGE! " .

I don't get any respiratory infections anymore, I have learned how to snuff

those things, including colds and flu, quick, by several means. But the

damage is done. I used to have an incredible booming voice (had pro voice

training) but can't do much of that anymore. I used to be able to make

myself heard above a bulldozer. But I had to tell a fellow to come closer

the other day while we were out in the wind and cold. I was losing my voice

and was simply not going to do it.

So- I don't want anyone thinking that I'm throwing off on any brand of oil

just because I get that problem. I'm just looking for my own answers. Maybe

someone else may need the same answers.

I intend to keep the WFN highest quality oil here to take for my health. Its

benefits are proven to my satisfaction. All I have to do is just swallow it

quick; I just can't let it stay long in my mouth or throat.
