We like Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I originally bought it at Earth Fare, however, I now get it through vitacost.com. I love vitacost.com I buy a lot from them. It is much less expensive than Earth Fare. I just googled and vitacost has 3 different sizes up to 42% off. I don't know if Trader Joe's carries it. I will have to look next time. I believe Spectrum has an unrefined coconut oil as well, but I have not tried it.<br />

My kids were a little skeptical at first so I would split the coconut oil with another oil to dilute the taste more. So if a recipe called for 2 tablespooons of oil, I would do 1 of coconut and 1 of olive oil or grapeseed oil. Now I do all coconut oil. It is not a strong flavor, but pretty subtle. I have only used it for baking so far such as muffins, cookies, pancakes.<br />
<br />
Yes, the unrefined is healthier.<br />

I don't use my microwave much anymore. I usually mix it with a hand mixer into my recipes…

I don't use my microwave much anymore. I usually mix it with a hand mixer into my recipes if possible. I could try heating it on the stove a little to warm as well. I need to find little pots for my stove for warming such things as coconut oil, butter and syrup. I don't like dirtying the big pots for all of those little things. I will have to look into that.<br />

My family does not like the flavor of the coconut oil, even when used in baking. I do like it. But, there is a refined version which costs more and has no coconut flavor. I believe the unrefined, virgin oil is healthier, though.<br />

I have been wondering about this oil. Does it flavor everything like coconut. My dh hates coconut, so I was wondering if the oil gave off a strong flavor in the food.
