5.0 out of 5 stars So many uses, many benefits! December 4, 2012

By Paula Berry

Size Name:15 Ounce (Pack of 2)

I use coconut and jojoba oil for moisturizing my dry skin and since I've converted from creams to oils, my skin has never looked or felt smoother. I use it on my legs and arms mostly but it works just about everywhere.

A little goes a long way which means just a little jar will last a very long time which is great cost-wise, and with just a couple drops, my skin stays smooth all day. I will sometimes use the jojoba oil on my face in the evening as a facial moisturizer -Desert Essence Pure Jojoba Oil + FREE 100% Coconut Oil. The coconut oil on the face feels kind of greasy.

Besides that I sometimes also use it in lips -makes chap-stick feel like chalk. None of these oils ever leave any residue/stains on my pillowcase or clothes either so there is really no negatives to using these wonderful oils!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Tasting Coconut Oil I've Tried: Quality is A+ October 2, 2009

By Amazon Enthusiast

Size Name:15 Ounce (Pack of 2)|Amazon Verified Purchase

Nutiva's Organic coconut oil is the best I've found. I've tried several brands, but nothing tastes as clean and pure as this. There is a definite undertone of coconut, but I like the flavor, even when frying eggs or eating it on cinnamon raisin toast. I recently had bloodwork done and my HDL (the good cholesterol) was an impressive 77---anything over 39 is considered in range; over 50 is heart protective). I attribute this great HDL number to using only coconut oil, butter, and olive oil in my cooking & drinking green tea.

Amazon's Subscribe & Save offer is a great deal; I really like the 2 pack of these smaller (15 oz) jars. We're a small household and I like keeping one jar sealed while using the other. Keep in mind that coconut oil is different than other oils--it is solid at temperatures under 76, so it will look something like shortening in the wintertime. Still tastes great and is wonderful to use in all kinds of cooking.

One more important detail: this is an organic, COLD PRESSED coconut oil. Others may be organically grown, but I've found some brands are hydrogenated to make them solid at room temperature (I won't go into all the reasons this is not a "good thing"). Suffice it to say that any coconut oil you buy should be cold pressed (and that goes for your olive oil, as well). Google to find out why...

Happy eating!

UPDATE 3/19/13: Updated the temperature threshold for melting point: it's actually 76 degrees, according to the Nutiva label (not 72 degrees as I previously guesstimated).

5.0 out of 5 stars amazingly delicious fresh coconut scent, beautiful white color, versatile, AND ORGANIC! July 27, 2009

This is a marvelous product with some interesting health benefits (google it up). You can use it in baking, frying, in sauces, for vegan raw pies, mix with chocolate for puddings, moisturize your hair or skin, soothe rough elbows, etc.

This melts really fast in a pan, so you don't need a high heat. I fry eggs in it, and the coconut taste is subtle. Any ethnic dish that requires sauteeing or saucing and can benefit from a fresh coconut flavor, this is useful. I've cooked meats in it, as well. If you hate the smell/taste of coconut, obviously, this is not for you.

This brand, Nutiva, is organic and virgin. It smells so good. And I have an old jar that I never finished (really big one), and nearly two years later, after sitting right by the stove, it still smells fresh, like Cuban coconut candy my mom used to make. Yes, solid and fresh and white and fragrant TWO YEARS LATER. This is a very stable product.

Recommended.
