Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway

Posted by Ellie-A Little of This and a Little of That at 11:08 PM
I recently received a 32 oz. jar of the Tropical Tradition Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil and the book Virgin Coconut Oil, How it has changed people's lives and how it can change yours. Opened the lid and it smelled like a fresh coconut and thought maybe it would be lumpy but it wasn't. It was nice and creamy. We first cooked Mahi Mahi with it. Now as it was cooking you could smell a little coconut but when we tasted the food there was no coconut taste. Yet a nice light, not greasy taste. Very good. Then we made Popcorn the old fashioned way with it, again you could smell coconut in the air, but not taste it in the food. The popcorn was so white and lite flavor, until I added the butter of course. Then we fried Pot Stickers in it and they turned out perfect. Just the perfect brown on each side. We were very pleased so far by the Virgin Coconut Oil. Tonight we used it to fry up our Pad Thai, and again you can smell coconut but not taste. It was delicious, very light, very tasty. Tropical Traditions have so much more than Oil, they have household products, skin care products, and pet products. Tropical Traditions is giving away one 32oz. jar of The Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil and a copy of the book to one of my readers.
