Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil: Review and a Giveaway!

I've been a bad blogger, guys, last month I was sent a quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to try in cooking by Tropical Traditions. I used it in waffles and I've used it in our homemade vegan "notella" and I haven't posted about it! I REALLY like cooking with the coconut oil. It gives everything a slightly tropical taste and is really easy to incorporate in different dishes. It also is solid at warmer temperatures than regular oils so it's interesting to work with at times.

A little about Virgin Coconut Oil from the Tropical Traditions website:

This Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is a truly unrefined coconut oil. This coconut oil is made on Mt. Banahaw and surrounding areas from organic coconuts. Coconuts are used fresh (within 24-48 hours of harvest) from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines. Only the highest quality coconuts are hand-picked from each harvest. The volcanic soil of Mt. Banahaw makes these organic coconuts some of the most nutritionally rich coconuts in the world!

The coconut oil is definitely a GREAT way to increase your immune system and also boost your metabolism. More from the site:

Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use. It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. 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.

It's only natural when Tropical Traditions offered to send one of my lucky readers a quart of this oil I JUMPED at the chance! Of course I'd love for one of my Let's Get Fit readers to win a quart of this delicious oil!
