Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway

I received a 32 oz. jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for review. To find out more about about Tropical Traditions, check out this video "How We Discovered Virgin Coconut Oil - An Interview with Brian Shilhavy, CEO Tropical Traditions." You can also like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter. You can also find free, excellent, kitchen-tested coconut recipes on the Tropical Traditions blog

My readers can acquire their own complimentary copy of Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil book just by taking part in the Tropical Traditions Referral Program. If you choose “Referred by a Friend” and enter my User ID: 6959063 on your first online order, the book will be automatically added to your order.

My Take on Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
I was making hamburgers yesterday and thought that I'd like to have some sauteed onions to put on them. Generally I use butter to saute my onions but I decided to try sauteing them in Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil instead. The coconut oil added a very nice flavor to the onions which is turn gave the burgers a nice new taste as well. I like that the coconut flavor was not overwhelming but that you could definitely taste the coconut flavor. Also, all I needed was just a spoonful of coconut oil added to the pan. I like that I can store this jar in my pantry even after it has been opened because there's no need to refrigerate. I'm very excited to add coconut oil to many more recipes as an added extra flavor.

I have tried TT just yesterday!! I actually used it for a hair treatment,I put a little in my hair and covered my hair with a tight cap.I let it sit after massaging it in through my scalp and all through my hair.After about 15mins I washed it out,shampoo and conditioned my hair as usual.My hair is so soft and with dry scalp I can feel how it has moisturised it.Such a good relief.
I do plan to cook with it soon!
