Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review


Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is extremely superior to the coconut oils you would find in stores. Unlike the refined versions in the stores, Tropical Traditions is all natural, pure and very healthy. Something that is definately worth paying more for.

The founder, Brian Shilhavy, moved to the Philipines and started making this coconut oil with his wife Marianita. They never expected thier business would be as successful as it has become but it has. This coconut oil is made by extracting the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, the oil naturally separates from the water producing a crystal clear oil that retains the full scent and taste of coconuts.

This traditional method of producing coconut oil is time consuming to make but much more beneficial to your health in the long run.

Cooking with Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is not only healthy, but absolutely delicious. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.

Knowing this, my family all wanted to try it. My mother is a great cook so we left it all to her. Our very first project was making hay stacks. Mmm, my favorite! I've found a list of delicious coconut oil experiments to continue enjoying here: FreeCoconutRecipes.com

So we know it's healthy to consume the coconut oil, but is there any others ways of using it? TONS! I'll make an example of my personal top three.


Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shiny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.

Skin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. Coconut oil is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.

Weight Loss: Coconut oil is very useful in losing weight. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight.
