Hello! How are you today? I got a lot of response about me grinding my own grain so I thought I would share another kitchen secret with you.
We don't use corn or vegetable oil or any other type of cooking oil.
We only use coconut oil over here! There are a ton of health benefits from using this oil! We have been using coconut oil for years and years! Scott and I have been using it since we have been married almost 9 years ago and my Mom was using it longer than that.
I buy the huge 5 gallon buckets because we use so much!
Then, I transfer a little into the kitchen at a time. I cook everything with this stuff! We are totally used to the taste. I also buy a 5 gallon bucket of the Expeller Pressed because it doesn't taste like coconut but it doesn't have all the same health benefits.
I also like the coconut chips!
I use them in trail mix and as a toping for yogurt.
Have you ever tried coconut oil?
What do you use it for?
I use it in some cooking and as moisturizer for skin and hair. I've only seen it in small jars. Where do you buy it in the 5 gal. buckets?
ReplyDeletewe order it online at http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/

Are you able to open the buckets without the opener they recommend?
ReplyDeleteMy husbands opens but I am not sure how. I think it is pretty hard.

We use coconut oil a lot for cooking, and as a moisturizer for my son when his eczema flairs up. If you mix a little coconut oil with melted chocolate chips, it's great for dipping ice cream cones...you get a nice hard shell!
ReplyDeleteI just bought some for my daughter, who is a vegan. We plan on trying it out in recipes. I've never cooked with it. Those chips look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have used it as moisturizer (face and body) and a conditioning hair treatment for awhile now. It works wonders on hair (mine is very curly) and doesn't weigh it down like olive oil does.I also use about 1 TBSP in our smoothies - it's great in baked goods as well. Very, very versatile!
