I have sort of a silly question for you- or really anyone who can answer it. I saw on your FR page that you have the Weston Price ping list and was wondering if you take coconut oil?
I’ve started using it on my hair and skin and it’s just amazing. My hair is so soft and shiny and my skin is softer, too. This time of year, both are usually so dry. But I have a hard time working it into my food. I put a little in soup or hot thing so that it melts, but outside of that I have no clue what to do with it.
OK, RK. Fess up. What’s the scoop on the coconut oil?
I think I neeeeeeeed it.
Do you just rub it into your skin and doesn't it feel greasy?
I would imagine you could use the oil in smoothies, to make a salad dressing for a salad that uses fruits like apples, oranges, grapes and even a little flaked coconut, and some berries.
I could see some stir fries using a touch of coconut oil. Maybe a little oil in oatmeal with some cinnamon, or maybe blend some with your butter for on toast or on a muffin or bagel? Maybe cook up some chicken in it? Just trying to come up with some possibilities.
I saute with it, but haven’t really used it in a while. I’m making soaps now and am very fond of coconut oil and shea butter - very moisturizing (well, the shea is, the coconut not so much). I really like putting a dab of CO in hot chocolate and it is excellent in baking. If you mix it with butter you get the classic ‘theater flavor’ for popcorn.
