Virgin coconut oil vs. Extra virgin coconut oil?

[Guest guest]

I didn't even realize that I bought virgin coconut oil and not extra

virgin coconut oil from Tropical Traditions.

http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil.htm Is there a

difference?

A friend of mine did some research (but I'm not sure where she got her info

from) and said

she learned that there is no difference. You migh try contacting the company and

ask

them. Also I believe there is a good website with mega info on all things

coconut-related,

try googling!

I recommend Coconut Oil that has been cold extracted. I found out from the

website of

the coconut oil I was using that was extra virgin (Tropical Traditions) that is

was heated in

the extraction process. They didn't say to what temp, so I felt that I'd prefer

to look for

some that was extracted with no heat. I also prefer the taste of the cold

extracted by far! I

use NFL's Coconut Oil and like it very much. Not trying to push any brands, just

letting you

know what I like.

I tried NFL's and thought it smelled burnt. So I switched to Tropical

Traditions only to find what Denise had said. Now I use www.livecoconutoil.com

He gets his from Sri Lanka and it is the best I've tried and I went on a hunt

and pretty much tried every one out there. All his profits go back to the

families in Sri Lanka since the tsnami.

 

The other one I like and I can get from some one close by is Nutriva (I think

that's the brand).

Sent before I was done. I just wanted to say IF you are still cooking food, use

coconut oil in place of any other oil you are using for cooking.

 

I also put about 1T in my nut milks and it seems to make them much creamier.
