Coconut Oil

[davetee]

Just started using coconut oil for frying...any suggestions on best buys - UK only please?

The KTC ones you see on the Amazon page are often 33-50% cheaper in Indian supermarkets (and in fact, cheaper than Tesco, etc). http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=grocery&field-keywords=coconut+oil

The KTC ones seem to be quite good - we use them in the office!

That's better than my source, thanks.

I've heard mixed things about KTC

It's not the Virgin stuff, hence why it's cheaper. Not tried it though to be able to compare

I get through loads of KTC. Around £2.20 for a large 500ml jar from larger Tesco stores. I prefer it to the more expensive virgin coconut oil because it does not have any coconut smell or taste. KTC is 100% pure coconut oil, bottled in the UK and contains no hydrogenated fat.

Just a quick question....I looked at the make up of coconut oil and see most all of the fat saturates so isn't that bad for high cholesterol?

 

[davetee]

No hard proof on that I think.

Read this..quite interesting

Wow, you're such good shoppers. I have much to learn but then I'm only a little grasshopper.

This is my favourite http://www.amazon.co.uk/Biona-Organ...F8&qid=1439324433&sr=1-5&keywords=coconut+oil but then I really prefer organic coconut oil.

I am buying a different brand of organic coconut oil every time I run out, to find my favourite - so far it's Ma Devlin's from Amazon.

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is the best one. It's so good I use it for cooking and as a moisturiser. I buy mine from Neal's Yard - a bit pricey but worth it.

I use the Tiana raw extra virgin coconut oil. You wouldn’t believe how versatile it is. I cook with it and use it as a spread. They say it can be used as more as well. My husband is diabetic so I bought it for him but I use it more. He likes the taste as it is not overbearing and that it boosts metabolism which is always important. I’ve tried a few others before this one but this is my favourite.

What's the difference between KTC almond oil and KTC coconut oil? Anything worth worrying about?
