I finally bought some coconut oil, and I'm kind of disappointed because it tastes pretty awful to me! Although it has a slight hint of coconut, it also has another type of taste that's hard to describe- it's sort of like soap! I bought it at a health food store and it's called Spectrum Naturals Organic Coconut Oil. It says it's "expeller pressed" and "unrefined". I went to the web site and of course they say they that the way they process it is the best way to process it, etc.! It's kind of a milky color and has tiny little gritty bits in it (not alot) that I guess are little bits of the actual coconut? It's in a glass jar, like a mayonaise jar and is like a thickish liquid- you can shake it up in the jar. There is no way you would want to spread this stuff on a low carb muffin, like I've heard other people say they do, and you definately wouldn't want to eat it straight! I'm hesitant to cook with it because of it's weird soapy flavor. I like coconut, so I was really looking forward to trying this, but this tastes so awful I can't imagine using it unless you really work to diguise it's taste.
So, did I get the wrong kind of stuff? I've read other coconut oil threads and everybody seems to talk about how good this stuff tastes, that I'm kind of confused!
