My mom still fixes her own food for the most part and she puts it on bread or toast instead of butter. She says it doesn't taste bad. Her favorite snack is peanut butter and butter on bread so she substitutes coconut oil for the butter. She will eat a plain piece of toast or cinnamon-raisin toast with just coconut oil on it too.

I can't say I know anything about that brand but all coconut oil is used as a shortening. That one certainly costs much less than the kind I'm getting. It is $10.99 for 20 oz.

I bought a can from WM to try, and I have tried it in oatmeal, abt a tblsp, and it tastes fine. What I have is a semi-solid substance at room temp, but it melts @ 77 degrees. (My mother does not get along well with microwaves or any other kind of stove.)
