Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway!

In case you hadn't noticed, I am a huge fan of coconut oil.  I first discovered it when we learned about real food and the importance of a traditional diet.    Immediately, I fell in love with it.  I was completely amazed at its versatility; I could use it to cook an egg, roast vegetables, fry doughnuts or make candy.  I also use it topically - it feels wonderful on the skin, and smells great! I use it as a make-up remover and moisturizer. There is always a small jar of coconut oil in my bathroom.

I feel good about using this natural, traditional oil in my home: for my children as well as myself.   We go through a lot of coconut oil, too; Jeff and I estimate that we purchase a good 20-25 gallons each year.  Therefore I'm always looking for a good price for a quality product, and from a seller I trust.

I have purchased coconut oil from several different sources over the past several years, and recently I had an opportunity to try Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for the first time.    This is the highest quality of coconut oil the company offers, which is saying something.  I have used expeller-pressed as well as cold-pressed coconut oils, and honestly I believe that they're both nice products.

However, I've been reminded that all coconut oils are not created equal.  The Gold Label virgin coconut oil is a nice consistency and much easier to scoop out of its container.  It also seems to work much better as a frying oil; my eggs are beautifully done and come out of the pan without getting stuck on the bottom of it...something with which I'd been fairly frustrated recently.  It also makes delicious raw fudge; see the link in the Recipes section of my sidebar.

I found this coconut oil to have a pleasant coconut scent.  I did not notice a coconut flavor in the foods prepared with it.   The thing I most enjoy about it is the texture - it is quite a bit more smooth than some of the coconut oils I have tried, which is quite nice.

Would you like to give it a try?  Well then...this is your lucky day - because I am hosting my very first giveaway!  You have the chance to win a quart of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.   Just follow the directions below.
