Although Tropical Traditions makes the best lip balm sticks ever and good hand
soap, I can't stand the taste or smell of their oil (but I haven't bought any
new in a couple years). Spectrum brand was even worse (bought that one before
I knew what to look for). Coconut Oil Supreme is so light with none of that
fermented or burned kind of taste.

Another good one I've used was Fresh Shores from Mercola.com. I want to use
coconut oil, but other than a teaspoon every now and then, I can't think of
many ways to use it other than on my skin. I can't cook with it because
husband doesn't like coconut's flavor. I added some to bran muffins. I
wondered about putting it in smoothies....since it gets so hard when cold,
wouldn't it just be a clump in the smoothie?

In case you can get it where you live, Zeb, I
will recommend the brand I use, Nui, once known as Kokonut. Sorry, I
think that should be Niulife. http://www.kokonutpacific.com.au/
I have tried two other brands available here in
Australia - one actually made me vomit (both ends), although I was already
used to coconut oil, and the other was just not nice to taste, though I was
sympathetic to the people who made it and their unusually unfortunate
history.
It was just as well I happened to try Nui (then
Kokonut) first, as if I had tried the other brand first I would never have
continued with coconut oil.
I have in the past seen a Canadian or USs address
on their website, but I can't find it now, just a note to say that they
are looking for international distributors.

I now also buy coconut juice made from young
coconuts in a can like a soft drink. It is very pleasant to taste, not
sweet like rubbish drinks, and no dearer than them. It comes from
Thailand, and has bits of the soft jelly in them. The brand I can get is
Chaokoh from Thep Padung Porn Coconut Co. Ltd.
I tried to find a website for them, but if they
had one it doesn't seem to be working now. But I see there are lots of
companies producing the same sort of thing.
Also it is possible to get all sorts of coconut
products, "coconut sports in syrup" and so on, trouble being that the syrup
is
very sweet.
