Nutiva Organic Steam Refined Oil, Coconut, 128 Fl OzUSDA Organic

Since I cook with coconut oil exclusively, I have been buying it in larger containers for a long time. However, this past holiday season brought on my experimenting with baking cookies with coconut oil instead of butter. This gallon container was, by far, the best price around for organic coconut oil and was needed considering the massive amounts of baking I do for the holidays. I thought, at first, I would miss the coconut flavor that I have grown accustom to, but it was an easy switch to the refined and unscented/unflavored oil.One note, if you want to bake with coconut oil. Add a couple tbsp of water for every cup of oil in your recipe. The first few batches of dough seemed more dry than usual and, unfortunately, my cookies turned out more crumbly (peanut butter blossoms/sugar cookie dough was harder to roll before adding water) and drier/crunchier when baked (choco chip, sugar, etc). After baking and not being happy with the results, I made subsequent batches with enough water to make the dough sticky and ball up as usual (as if cooking with butter). It made the difference and I, once again, had awesome soft and chewy cookies that turned out great. Another note if baking with it, leave the bucket close to your oven while it is on so the oil softens up. It is WAY easier to mush it into and scrape it out of the measuring cup when soft.

Good quality I appreciate the fact we even have stores let alone Amazon Prime I'd highly recommend. There are people that have no idea what it's like in the beginning no stores banks pharmacies hospitals gas station cars today they have this and take advantage of everything some of us us primes were here before stores pharmacies hospitals gas station cars were appreciate it let's hope they do Puerto Rico comes to mind. You could lose everything in the blink of an eye if you don't respect it. Amazon PRIME is a Prime system it'll be fine but they could cut people off if they wanted to. Just need the right eye and the right ear to make everything shift. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. Many anointings and consecrations to those at Amazon Prime may grandfather Thanatos keep you safe on the roads. We're from before AI before Gaia. Ring of the Magi protects your system.

If you haven't tried it yet, do so - if you have then you already know what's up.

I'm done trying other brands and will stick to Nutiva from now on.I'd only used coconut oil externally prior to the corona-virus but recently learned how to take it if you don't like the taste or texture - just use a teaspoon and simply swallow it like you would a pill instead of trying to eat it.One note about coconut oil - I accidentally eliminated some decades old plantar warts on the bottom of my right foot when I broke it a couple of years back by using coconut oil to wash that foot during the time I wasn't able to get in the shower. I didn't even know it was the coconut oil as I've only recently discovered how it happened which is via its high lauric acid content. Lauric acid "disassembles" the "lipid coating" that protects some viruses, bacteria etc from your immune system during .If you've ever used coconut oil for one thing and inadvertently fixed some other problems, google "lauric acid" and/or "monolaurin". Coconut oil's high content of lauric acid makes it readily absorbable via external application but ingesting it as well sort of kicks it into overdrive. AND, as I said, if you're like me and it just gags you, all you have to do is swallow it in smaller amounts like you would a pill - quick, slick and no gagging!I can't judge the taste or scent because I don't like coconut in any way shape or form.As a moisturizer, it depends on the person. Some get a moisturizing effect and some don't. I'm about half and half. sometimes I do and sometime I don't, even using the exact same coconut oil so there must be some state of the skin that sometimes it moisturizes and sometimes it doesn't. Possibly due to varied states of hydration and dehydration or diet or something, I don't know. I know when I'm getting dehydrated because I get "chicken neck" which also seems to be when coconut oil does not work as a moisturizer.UPDATE: COMPARATIVELY INEFFECTIVE, TOPICALLY - I can only assume that it is equally inferior to unrefined oil when taken internally. It tastes better, though salty, but if you want the medicinal goodies, that's hardly relevant. "Ineffective" may be too strong a word as unrefined coconut oil is SO effective but "disappointed" is NOT too strong a word.UPDATE 2: Had to add back a couple of stars for the tastelessness which makes it EXCELLENT for flavored dark chocolate which is super simple - 1 part honey, 2 parts coconut oil, 4 parts cocoa powder. I add a splash of vanilla and sea salt whether I'm adding peanut butter, peppermint oil or cayenne. I microwave the coconut oil for a few seconds - just until it's pourable - then mix, pour onto a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper, sprinkle the sea salt all over the top and pop in in the freezer for half an hour. Then break it up and store it in a jar in the fridge. It's sort of like chocolate "bark". Also, before you stick it in the freezer, while it's still pourable, you can pour a little over ice cream, drizzle it on the marshmallows in your cocoa or dip graham crackers in it! AWESOME! Plus, unlike milk chocolate, it only takes a little bit to calm the chocolate jones whereas milk chocolate just makes you want more. And more and more. Yuck! I can't even eat milk chocolate anymore!
