Advice

Apparently you can use coconut oil on your hair as a hot oil treatment... so I tried it.
1. Heat the oil - I recommend taking some from the jar and putting it another container and stand it in hot water for a few minuets.
2. Apply the oil evenly to wet hair, paying particular attention to the ends of the hair.
3. Wrap hair in cling film or a hot towel for 5-10 minuets to allow the oil to penetrate the hair.
4. Shampoo your hair as normal and allow to dry naturally (if you can!) and feel the difference.

Coconut oil can be used as a great alternative to butter, keep at room temperature and it will be spreadable.
A great pudding recipe, 1 ripe avacado, 1 ripe banana, 1 desert spoon coconut oil, and juice of 1/4 to 1/2 lemon or lime. Process in a liqidiser/blender till smooth. Transfer to ramekin dishes and serve. Delicious! Can be used for puddings for babies.

The best natural moisturiser I ever tried. Protects a little in the sun and helps you to turn golden instead of red! Also sublime on toast with strawberry jam.

As a keen baker with 2 small children I'm always keen to try out ways of making healthier treats! Have been experimenting with coconut oil, using as a butter substitute in crumbles, flapjacks, biscuits - with great success. Yum. Also been adding in coconut flour too. Try it. Tastes great.

I used to use cheap coconut oil, never again! There is no comparison, the quality is so much better, would reccomend this product. I use for cooking, baking (you need slighty less than you would butter), hair and body oil!

Great taste and apart from all the other uses as described in other reviews I have found that I have lost a few kilos since taking this coconut oil over the last 2 weeks, (this is the 1st jar, 1 teaspoon a day). Because coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids it does help in losing weight, I won't go into the technicalities of it but I am living proof that its true.

coconut oil - Sat 30th Apr 2011
I have knees that click, not painful, but they click. Since using this in cooking, and in my green tea, they dont do it. Amazingly, and I have rosacae, and the oil takes away the redness in my skin. It also makes me feel less hungry, so I don't want to eat junk food, like sweet chocolates and cakes. I love it in home made flapjacks, breakfast pancakes, and egg white omlettes. Great alternative to butter and oil. I love it, and this is a good price!

Virgin Coconut Oil - Thu 12th May 2011
I have ordered same product- the 2nd time have ordered 5 as no post is charged. I have ordered from other sources...however this one in a glass its better, smells delicious, does not mean the other containers are not good. I use it for cooking..gives me lots of energy. use it in the steam at the gym, hair feet. The virtues are immence..just try and see for yourself, even use it for pop corn, taste different, and the high temperature means no toxic effect.

I love this coconut oil. Contrary to popular belief, coconut oil is quite good for you despite its saturated fat content. It is made up of medium-chain triglycerides as compared to long-chain triglycerides. In very simplistic terms, our body can use the fat in coconut oil more rapidly than other types of long-chain oil, meaning it is less likely to get stored.
Coconut oil is great as a baking substitute for any oil or shortening requirements. I use it in Christmas cookies and find that my Christmas cookies have a crispier texture, though a great taste!
It is also great in stir-frying, as it does not burn as easily as olive oil, making it quite an ideal oil to have an hand!
Overall, two thumbs up!
