Cooking with Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is ideal for cooking. It's for medium high heat and works well for stir frying or saute. It has a smooth, sweet taste that enhances food flavors and unlike other nutritional oils, coconut oil is highly resistant to oxidation. It can be substituted for butter in baked goods, and savory dishes such as curried lentils; use 3/4 cup of coconut oil for every one cup of butter. I even spread it on my gluten free toast !Be sure to always purchase virgin coconut oil.

Enjoy this healthy tropical oil in moderation, as you would other nutritional whole foods.
