Carrington Farms Organic Liquid Coconut Oil - Gluten Free & Non-GMO - Nutrient Dense Alternative for Baking & Cooking (16oz)

This is my favorite coconut oil to cook with! Affordable and works great!

I had been diagnosed as pre-diabetic at my check-up three months ago. I was told to cut back on sugars, white bread, rice, cookies and candy or risk a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. I bought one of those blood sugar test kits on Amazon, and started checking my numbers. In addition, I began to read about foods and other supplements that could help. There was a good deal of info on coconut oil and water. I cook a lot for myself and I typically use peanut oil for it's high smoke point (450 degrees F), Coconut oil has a smoke point of 350 degrees F, but unless you're deep frying this is fine for grilling fish, making popcorn or baking. This particular oil is tasteless so it has a lot of applications that call for oil (pancakes, waffles, corn bread, mayonnaise, salad dressing) and you won't get a weird taste. They make this in flavors too, garlic, rosemary, etc.but I prefer the tasteless.Since the smoke points are the same, this works as blend with un-clarified butter as a popcorn popping mixture, I remember hearing about 20 years ago that a large popcorn in movie theaters popped with coconut oil contained the saturated fat of six Big Macs. A chilling thought for regular movie goers, and the backlash caused many theaters to start using canola oil or sunflower oil to make the popcorn. Despite the difference in taste, it seems they went to a less healthy oil in the long run. Coconut oil while being heavily saturated than some oils has more of a healing quality than if you say used beef tallow or lard. Just another sensational media scare that in essence made us eat less healthy that what we used to do. Getting back to the taste, when blended with butter popcorn develops this rich taste that made theater popcorn so good.Besides making popcorn on the stove, my lunches at work were typically a sandwich and a cup of Progresso vegetable beef, chicken noodle, or just vegetable soup. I found I could stir in a full ounce of coconut oil and it made the soups richer without changing the taste. I started using this oil regularly for a month or so. A few weeks ago I went in for my blood work, and then last week for my check-up. Since I still ate too many starches, potatoes and such, and the occasional pizza, I was worried about the results. I was surprised to hear that my blood sugar was well back in the normal range. While I'd cut down on some bad foods, I really hadn't done everything I could, so I give credit to the coconut oil for helping me get back to normal.If you look around on various websites including Carrington Farms they list numerous benefits for coconut oil for killing disease in the body, to topical fungus cures outside, to skin care, hair care, weight loss and many more. Despite the amount of saturated fat it appears to have little effect on cholesterol or weight gain. One of the other reviewers mentioned some thyroid benefits, I take the same prescription as him, and that part of my blood work was called out as very good by my Physician as well, it could just be the medication, but maybe the coconut oil had a small effect there as well. I recommend this product highly based on my experiences with it. I've bought several bottles, and use it regularly in my cooking. The Zon has a particularly good price on this brand and offers it on a subscription for even less, so give it a try and see what I mean.

I love this oil. It's good for many things including cooking, bedroom, massages, etc.

This coconut oil never fails. It doesn’t have a strong smell or flavor of coconut, so you can use it for many things. Yes many things.

Nice flavor and smell

This is a fantastic product, I have purchased this many times and yet to be disappointed. It doesn't stain either. A+++

I use this oil for cold process soap.No aroma to interfere with my final soap product and It adds a creamy rich texture to the bars.In addition to the great oil, the low profile, wide mouth of the container is definitely a bonus.It was packaged in a box that actually fit the container so no extra packaging to deal with.

That lid likes to stay on real tight I would suggest scooping it out and putting it into mason jars or something other than that it's a real cheap source of MCT taste good too
