Have you heard of coconut oil? I searched the other day on health benefits of coconut oil and was surprised at what I found. I wanted to learn more so I contacted Tropical Traditions, America's #1 source for Coconut Oil and Virgin Coconut Oil.
Tropical Traditions was founded by Brian and Marianita Shilhavy and their story is quite interesting.
Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is their 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. They were the first ones to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines to the United States back in 2001.
I was sent a quart of Certified Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to review. I don't really use a lot of oil in my cooking, but after looking at the health benefits, I was ready to try it out. Their site has hundreds of recipes listed so there are plenty to choose from, but I wanted to see how I could incorporate it into my already planned out week.
Most research I have read states that consuming at least 2-3 tablespoons is beneficial. Coconut oil can be used in any recipe that calls for oil or butter. It's also easy to pour a little on popcorn, which is what I did the other night. I never use butter or even oil when cooking my popcorn {we just add a cup of kernels to a paper bag and microwave} so it added a nice flavor.
Find Out More: Right now Tropical Traditions is having a sale and selling their Certified Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for $19.95 for 1 pint or $29.95 for 1 quart.
Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.
And they are so convinced that you will love this oil, that they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on their 16oz trial size. If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with your trial size in the first 30 days, you can get a full refund - no questions asked!
