"I use it in place of shortening in recipes and it works great. I have used in in making a gluten free pie crust which came out delicious. And I have used it to pan fry chicken also fantastic. It has a very mild coconut flavor and scent but didn't show up as an overwhelming flavor in my finished dishes."

"I have used this product for over a year and absolutely love it! I've tried a few other, but this one tops them all. Tastes fresh and has a wonderful, light coconut flavor. I don't use it for all applications, just those that would be complimented by the flavor it adds. I LOVE to use this oil in my brownies and pancakes in place of butter or cooking oil."

my family really likes it, August 29, 2008
By healthmama

"my whole family really likes the taste, my husband was surprised how much it enhances the taste of oatmeal when you put it in . And i'm just happy it's SO much better than butter to put on your food and cook with. THe only thing i was surpised with i guess is that it completely solidifies in the refrigerator, so you can't really spread it on toast, for example. And it summer, if you leave it out, it completely liquifies in the cabinet, so it's not spreadable either.."
