I've been reading alot about the benefits of coconut oils (for cooking, applying to your skin and hair, etc.). I have been looking at several websites that explain everything about the oils and different types, which is the best, etc., however there are so many brands with huge price differences. Can anyone recommend a brand that you find works well and lives up to its promise? If you use it, what benefits do you think it has from personal experience? I know it is good for the skin outside, but supposedly it's good for many, many things, internally and externally. Thank you everyone!!
Also, which is better...virgin or extra virgin coconut oil?
thank you so far for the links, most of those i have read. I appreciate your help so far, but I am interested in hearing from people who are using it and what benefits they see and feel from it.
Answer
Virgin Coconut OIl or VCNO is all you need if it's a good brand.
It's incredible stuff. It definitely gives me more energy and in cooking it gives foods a great taste. Also if you fry with it it doesn't taste greasy.
Since frying can use a bit of it I use the Organic Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil. It doesn't smell quite as good but works fine for frying and is cheaper.
You have not lived until you've tried onion rings made with it. Not greasy at all and incredible!
It works great in baking except being a little soft for some recipes (especially in summer ) because it melts at like 74 degrees. If that's an issue just use 1/2 vcno and 1/2 butter.
The only thing I haven't cared for with it is scrambled eggs. It gives them a bit of a soapy taste but it's great in hot cereal, makes an soup creamier and better tasting and gives me energy
These are the guys I use. They are the experts and the original importer of it. They also use family farms (in Phillipines) and have been a pleasure to deal with.
They also have good sales.

Answer
Extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO) also is stable at higher temperatures so is safe to use in cooking. Vegetable oils are not as stable at higher temperatures and leave a plaque over time in the body. The body is also more easily able to burn off EVCO. Vegetable oils tend to collect in and congest the liver. Put some olive (or any vegetable oil) on your hands and rub it in, it's so greasy and hard to get rid of. Try the same with EVCO, it will dissolve in and you won't even feel it in a little while.
