Verdict:

Delicious & Nutritious

When I first got a jar of Coconut oil, my thought was, “hmmm how should I go about about eating this?”
After some consultation with the packaging, I was excited to see the suggestion that it can be eaten straight from a spoon. They didn’t have to tell me twice so I went straight for it…

Since I’ve never really eaten an oil straight, it was a different texture for me. ‘Oily’ is the best way to describe it, with a nice hint of coconut taste. Definitely not as sweet a taste as eating shredded coconut, but it is actually quite good. But for me, straight-from-a-spoon wasn’t going to be the be-all end-all for me. I journeyed on.

Next I went the smoothie route; Cut in a peach, some water and apple juice, and put in a spoonful. Blend, Cut, Dice, Mix, Ice cutter, Mix again, and I was drinking… it was so good! The coconut oil crystallized in the drink, so it was shiny as well as tasty. Since then, I’ve stuck with this method, and haven’t regretted it yet. I’ve tried it with bananas, banana/strawberries, peaches/strawberries, and the coconut touch was a hit every single time! The coconut seems to blend well with any fruit, adding a nice subtle flavor, and the health benefit of the oil is definitely an added plus.

I do recall that the packaging says you can use this oil for cooking or sprinkle it in salads, and I may try those suggestions sooner or later. But for me this stuff has found its calling.

Big thumbs up.
