"Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is our highest
quality coconut oil. This premium Virgin Coconut Oil is handcrafted by family
producers in the Philippines using traditional methods passed down from previous
generations. We were the first ones to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines to the
United States back in 2001. Recent Studies show that traditionally-made coconut oils have
the highest amounts of antioxidants. Watch our video for more information about
this premium Virgin Coconut Oil."I have sauteed several meals using coconut oil. My family of 5 have not seemed to notice that I switched oils on them. I like using coconut oil to pan fry things in instead of olive oil To change things up a bit. I have noticed when I add coconut oil to my morning smoothies, I feel more energetic!
I also decided to make one of my favorite treats to try out this coconut oil- magic shell. All it takes is coconut oil and chocolate chips. You melt them together and then pour it over your ice cream and voila! you have magic shell! This was easy and fun, next time I will let my kids make it! The recipe I used called for 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 1 cup of chocolate chips. I thought there was a slight coconut flavor to the shell, but I thought it really added to the flavor!
Coconut oil is not only for cooking, it makes an excellent addition to your beauty regimen. I used it as a leave in conditioner on my hair. I just put some in my hands and brushed it through with my fingers and I am telling you, my hair has never been so shiny or soft in my life. I really wish I would have thought of this sooner. I think I will continue to do this once a week. I left it on for 20 minutes and then washed my hair like normal. I have been using coconut oil for years as a moisturizer. I have really dry skin and it works so well at helping relieve that dryness. A friend of mine suggested I try it as a make up remover, which I did...once again, with fabulous results. If you use it as a make up remover, then you've already moisturized your face with it.
The uses and benefits of coconut oil are endless. There are 100's of ways to use coconut oil!
