raw coconut in a jar question

[Guest guest]

I went to Madison Market and got a jar of Raw Coconut Dream by Living Tree

Community which I just opened and it is sooo good! My question is.... It

doesn't say to refigerate after opening but it seems to me that I should. So

should I refigerate it?

I also got Tahini and Raw Olives by Living Tree brand and on those jars they

clearly stated to refrigerate after opening, but not on the coconut. So is

there any reason I should not refigerate the jar of coconut?

Terri - I've got two jars of it (by Tropical Traditions) and I cannot stand the

taste. If you want them I can meet you at Chaco Canyon one day.

 

What do you do with it?

Shari,

I don't know if I would like another brand. I just bought this one on a lark

and it totally surprised me how much I do like it. And it is 32 servings so I

don't need any more for a while. I really don't know what I am going to do with

it ... LOL ... I just took a teaspoon and tasted it, then put a few chocolate

nibs with it. I have heard that coconut is good for us and the one time I

hacked my way into a fresh coconut I didn't care for the taste or the texture.

Do you like the taste of fresh coconut?

I adore fresh coconut! I always have at least two in the fridge. I especially

like them when the water is good. Sometimes they are borderline, but when they

are good they are very, very good.

 

I'd rather eat the fresh than the stuff in the jar.

I have been reading The Coconut oil Miracle book by Bruce Fife ,CN, N.D. So far

it is really good. I got the coconut in a jar at whole foods, they store it in

the fridge but it says on the jar you don't have to keep it in the fridge. As a

good saturated fat it is highly resistant to oxidation and spoilage (unless it

is a fresh coconut). So either way is probably ok. You can put it in a smoothie,

it's good for you in all it's forms or just use it on your skin. The daily dose

of MCFAs (medium chain fatty acids, which the body converts into energy not fat)

recommended for adults is 31/2 tablespoons 1-2 still has benefits. Hope this

helps a bit.
