Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Unit
I use this with the whirleypop, which I’m expecting to break any minute, but that aside, this makes near perfect popcorn. The coconut taste is a little bit stronger than what you’d find in movie theatres but overall a bit bland (which is not a bad thing). I frankly prefer that than trading the health benefits for overly processed oil. That and while I love coconut trading the near tasteless flavor of the oil for a strong coconut flavor would reduce it’s versatility in cooking.
So when you salt this lightly with popcorn it stands on its own. But I season mine with kernel’s seasons, splenda, sugar, some salty butter flavoring along with melted Nutiva, mixed then drizzled on top. In short, it’s one step short of heaven and the switch from Canola is immediate and amazing. I honestly can’t stop eating it and it is rather healthy in comparison to movie theatre popcorn as I use far less and still has a very similar oil fragrance and taste. Yes I still treat it like an oil and use about 2.5 to 3 tablespoons for a 1/3 cup of unpopped corn.
On that note, while I applaud the brave reviewers out there who put this on their hair, and eat it religiously daily this is still an oil. Perhaps a high quality one and one I may put on my split ends one day, but to me this is a yummy cooking oil you use in moderation.
It also is a tad expensive (hence subbing a star) and again I do find it too bland to use alone on toasted bread (perhaps it has to be toasted together in the toaster oven) but the quality and convenience is really good.
So if you happen to use it in other ways, good on you but I am happy with using it sparingly, and simply for popcorn. It seems much more useful to me than using it as the latest and greatest in health fads today. Especially because oil, even when healthy, contributes a hefty amount of calories and fat to your diet.

I was pleasantly surprised how lightweight this oil is and how quickly it absorbs in to my skin. I also cook with it a little and it isn’t too strong, although I keep thinking I smell like a large macaroon after I rub this in to my hands and arms. (It fades in a few minutes) I’ve started giving it to my very old and very finicky cat, who to my surprise and delight, enjoys licking it off my fingers after she eats her dinner. Her digestion has improved and it helps her keep a little weight on. I would definitely buy this again!

This was my first time using coconut butter and I was surprised by how pleasing the coconut aroma is. I have substituted for butter in a cake recipe and it turned out fantastic! I have been buttering my toast with this every morning. Smells and tastes very fresh.

This coconut oil was great. I have been using it on my face every night after I wash. My skin tone is evening out and my pores look nice. I convinced my fiance to try it where he was chafing…ding! magic! no more chafing.
he’s pumped i’m pumped. This is good quality coconut oil. I do recommend it. It absorbs well, has a nice smell, and last a long time.

Coconut oil is I believe after much research the superior cooking oil. Organic cold-pressed is the best form of it, and I find Nutiva is the best brand. There is definitely a difference.
