Where to purchase coconut oil that has no flavor

[queensgrt]

I use the coconut oil from Trader Joe's and love it, except sometimes I don't want the coconut flavor. Can anyone suggest a reliable source to purchase the oil that does not taste like coconut. Many thanks!

As mentioned elsewhere, if you want to avoid that coconut-y quality, buy a refined oil. With virgin coconut oil, you're not going to escape that flavor.

but be careful of the brand, because some are hyrdogenated.

What do you do with the Trader Joe's coconut oil? I see it in the store and think about buying it but I don't know what to do with it...

use it just like olive oil or butter. i saute greens in it, shrimp, chicken, fish, etc. i have used it in brownies with added coconut that came out amazing.

it's a very healthy oil.

it can also be used topically and has antibacterial qualities.

IMO, coconut oil is THE BEST for popping popcorn. It's transcendent. Also great for making vegan or dairy-free desserts -- a fruit crumble topping made with coconut oil is fantastic -- and instead of butter or vegetable oil in any number of things including quick breads (though not biscuits), granola, cakes.

Also a great moisturizer and natural sunscreen or as a carrier oil.

i just started using it as a mouthwash and WOW are my teeth clean. i keep the neutral kind in the bathroom and the full-flavor nutiva in the kitchen.

In the Omega Nutrition brand, the Virgin Coconut Oil has a coconut flavour, but the non-virgin has no flavour. Both are organic, by the way.

Tropical Traditions (google the online shop) has very high quality expeller pressed coconut oil, conventional and organic, and periodically runs really good sales. I snagged some organic expeller CO from them recently on a buy one get one sale, and I really like it. I will never go back to vegetable oil for a neutral oil. (It also is magnificent after a shower!)

We like Tropical Traditions organic, but it's definitely announcing to everyone that it is coconut when using it.

We use it as an after-shower moisturizer as well. It's kinda strange when I have to go to the bathroom to get something that I'm going to use as an ingredient in the kitchen. :)
