This is a great price! Is Nutiva really raw in their processing (does anyone know)?

[Davylp25]

Yes Nutiva is a good company. Natures First Law sells there stuff as well. Is it cold pressed I couldnt tell though?

Get the facts on why some coconut oil taste's delicious and others bland
How coconut oil is processed is the key to optimizing its taste, texture, color, and aroma. Within two hours of Nutiva's coconuts being chopped, the oil is cold-pressed. Contrast this to 99 percent of the coconut oil used today in cooking and body care: first the coconut is chopped and left to dry in the sun for days, then the meat is scooped out and sent thousands of miles to giant oil mills where the oxidizing coco meat is refined, bleached, and often deodorized — and ironically this product is often labeled as "certified organic."

There is no comparison between Nutiva¹s raw, extra-virgin Organic Coconut Oil, with its light taste, pleasant aroma, and pure white color, and industrialized coconut oil, with its bland taste, faint aroma, and off-white color.

Nutiva's Raw, Extra-Virgin Organic Coconut Oil:

a pleasant aroma
a light taste
pure white color in its solid state
99% of Coconut Oil is Refined Bleached Deodorized (RBD) and has:

little aroma
a bland taste
an off-white color
"We're pleased to offer our customers a super-healthy medium-chain fat with a rich aroma and an enticing light flavor." "Until now, it has been hard to find high-quality extra-virgin coconut oil in natural food stores." says Nutiva founder and president John W. Roulac.

Just to let you know, Nutiva stores their coconut oil in PET bottles, which is the same bottles Coca-Cola uses. It's better to get coconut oil that comes in a glass container.

PET: PET plastic, or polyethylene terephthalate, is a form of polyester.

Does anyone know about Tropical Traditions are they raw and good?

[fruit]

Guydiane,Last year i purchased two gallons of tropical traditions coconut oil.It was the first coconut oil i tried and it was okay in taste.
About a month ago i bought a gallon of fresh shores coconut oil for about 70 bucks shipping included and my opinion it taste way better than tropical traditions...Oh and it is made without heat processing...

[codajess]

I went to buy some yesterday on the website, and it says the coupon is invalid. :(

[Angelic]

Codajess, you can still get the $10 off if you buy it today, its' the last day. You have to buy $50 or more to get it and if you buy $99 or more you get the free shipping, I hope you get your coconut oil! :)

[radiant1]

I just ordered mine. I wanted to try it and this is a great price. Thxs Angelic for the info. Now, I have to search for a good price/source for raw carob or raw cocoa to make RP's Brownies.

[codajess]

AH cuz it's $50 or more to get it. lol.

[Angelic]

Radiant1, I found the raw carob powder for a really good deal for 2.5 lb bag for 6.28 per bag, if you buy several bags at one time the shipping is better, I bought 4 bags because me and hubby loooove chocolate! lol.. they also had raw organic oat groats, I am going to make another order and make sure I get some of those too. Hope this helps! :)
