Product Review and Giveaway: Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil 32 oz.
CONTEST CLOSED
Thanks to all who entered! Our winner is laurhd who is also interested in trying Tropical traditions Red Palm Oil! Congratulations!
Our family has been enjoying healthy and delicious virgin coconut oil in our home for years. As public awareness continues to increase about the dangers of trans-fatty acids and consumers search out healthier fats that aren’t polyunsaturated, brands of coconut oil have been popping up like toadstools after the rain!
Despite the bombardment of brands (which quite honestly makes our family confused when we’re shopping at the natural foods store), Tropical Traditions was there first (you can watch this youtube clip to learn more). They are the first brand of coconut oil our family used, they remain the most affordable, the most reliable, the most consistent, and the most delicious! They’re also believers! You can read founder Brian Shilhavy’s testimony here.
We’ve tried the other brands, and no matter what fancy terminology they use for their processes I haven’t found any that beat Tropical Tradition’s traditional hand-processing of coconuts into oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is the creme-de-la-creme of coconut oils, perfect for eating raw, blending in smoothies, sauces, and all sorts of recipes – personally I love the delicate flavor it adds to our gluten-free chocolate cake! If you’re not sure how to use it, there are many free coconut recipes available in their online collection, and it doesn’t hurt that they also seem passionate about providing gluten-free recipes either! Our family also uses it as a sumptuous skin lotion – quick tip, rub it into cradle cap to soften, then brush gently with a surgical nail brush to remove, fast, gentle and effective! It’s also great for dry skin of any type.
The ultimate source for all things coconut oil-related if you’re just getting started is Tropical Tradition’s book - Virgin
Coconut Oil by Brian and Marianita Shilhavy, with over 70,000 copies in print, it contains testimonies, health benefits, and over 85 recipes to help you reap the benefits of coconut oil in your daily life. You can receive a FREE copy of this title with your first order if you are a new customer by entering my sponsor ID – 2597923 - in the ‘Referred by a Friend’ field in the “How did you hear of us?” box during your first online purchase. This book will be sent right out to you for free, a $15 value!
