More and more research is being done into the health benefits of coconut oil and it is becoming one of the go-to ingredients in healthy cooking. This coconut oil has been around a long, long time and I have tried it many times.This, like all coconut oils has a very high heat tolerance. What does this mean for cooking? When you cook something, like a piece of meat, or do a stir fry, where the heat needs to be extremely hot, and most other oils would burn and thus deteriote, this stays true.I use it to cook almost everything. There is never any smoke and the flavors it produces is exceptional. Try it with white or brown rice for a truly authentic taste. Sear your meat in a little of it and you will take out 90% of the fat and what you're left with is a beautifully chared piece of meat with no over-powering coconut flavor. Just a lovely hint.I highly recommend that you buy this and give it a try. Supplement it wherever you'd use olive oil and see for yourself.
