French Fries in Coconut oil, mmm good. You just have to watch you don't overheat the oil.

Coconut definitely has some healthy properties. I didn't like it as a kid, but as an adult I don't mind it.

true. it has a quick flashpoint unlike other oil but it's much better for you.

Another option to maintain coconut oil in a liquid state during cooler months is to try and utilize refrigerator heat.







For best refrigerator efficiency, periodically clean the condenser coils . . located behind the front grill, or behind a back bottom panel. Also may help to turn off the refrigerator for several hours (last thing at night to first thing next morning) to ensure a complete defrost.

I have coconut oil in the kitchen, coconut water in the fridge and coconut flakes in a container. Shampoo and hand soap contains coconut. I'm not a chocoholic so if I feel the urge for a candy bar, it will be Almond Joy or Mounds.

The regular markets have coconut water. I got my coconut oil at hfs but I think I've seen it in the super market.

We've rigged our shower to only dispense coconut juice from a large bladder on the roof that we have refilled weekly by an islander who is a distant cousin of Jimmy Superfly Snuka. Our skin has never looked better (neighbors have commented on the glow) and I feel so healthy and strong. Plus I don't have to eat breakfast I just open my mouth and sip the sweet nectar of the Gods while scrubbing. I'm tempted to add some honey to liven up the taste but need to research the effects of that on my skin and hair first.

And you can make a cooking fire from the dried brown husks! I am ALL ABOUT coconut, and that extends to ice cream, cake and cream pie.

Love me some coconut water, but it is a bit pricey where I live.

The smell of coconut brings back memories of sailing the Caribbean. Now I see it works for hangovers... no down side to me

In Guyana, they served large slivers of coconut for breakfast. I loved it and wish I could find it near me.
