Quality Brands of Coconut Oil

Below you’ll find the information on where to buy Unrefined, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil OR see further down for where to buy the Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil with no taste or smell.

Remember, there is a big difference in quality between brands as far as how they clean and process the coconut oil, and how many nutrients are left when they’re done. (Not to mention the taste differences, some I’ve found to have a strong chemical-like taste.)

WHERE TO BUY UNREFINED, ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL

—Large quantities (smaller quantities are further down):

Nutiva’s™ cold pressed, organic extra-virgin coconut oil - SCROLL DOWN AT THIS LINK FOR 1 GALLON SIZE (& larger sizes, too) WITH FREE SHIPPING

The above link is the least expensive price for larger sizes when I originally researched it (and this is the coconut oil I use personally), but keep in mind it is not considered “raw” – this one is processed at 170*. See below for the raw coconut oil.

—SMALLER QUANTITIES:

–NUTIVA Coconut Oil - scroll down at that link for a variety of sizes and prices.

–RAW COCONUT OIL is also available (scroll down at that link to find it).

–More raw Coconut oil from Mtn. Rose Herbs – this one is processed at no higher than 100* – under 113* is considered raw:

WHERE TO BUY EXPELLER PRESSED COCONUT OIL (no taste or smell but not as good for you):

The least expensive expeller pressed coconut oil I found online was from Tropical Traditions. You can buy the organic OR non-certified expeller pressed coconut oil. I buy the non-certified because their site says, “We get our Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil, non-certified, from unpolluted areas of the Philippines where pesticides and fertilizers for coconut palms are virtually unknown.”

(Note: if you can find Spectrum Naturals refined coconut oil at your grocery store, it is usually less expensive than Tropical Traditions since you’re not paying shipping. It is also expeller pressed. However, I thought it tasted bad.)

HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN GET IT:

Wonder what the big deal is with coconut oil and why many people buy a gallon at a time or more? Read all about the benefits of coconut oil, not only for cooking, but also topically on our skin. It’s often used with dieting to boost your metabolism, it kills lice, it can cure eczema, and much much more.

Coconut oil is great for sauteing, and in certain recipes – here are a couple: my popcorn, and try organic coconut milk in these delicious, healthy smoothies!
