Earlier today, I received a product from Tropical Traditions to do a product review about. I was amazed at not only the size of the sample to review (a whopping 32 ounce glass jar) but also the product quality. Just what was this product? It was a jar of  Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil.

The dangers of polyunsaturated oils is well known and so I decided to switch to more healthier alternative. I have used other brands in the past and all I can say is that none of them even come close to this Virgin Coconut Oil.

This coconut oil is 100% organic and made in the Philippines from hand-picked harvesting. Traditional processing methods are also used to make this amazing product.  It contains healthy fats such as Lauric Acid, which is also found in human breast milk.

Here is a video that explains how this coconut oil was first discovered, make sure to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h6eycjf29M

Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil does not need to be refrigerated, however, I did put it in my fridge for the time being due to the fact that it is hot and humid outside.

I used the Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil this morning as an additive to a small bowl of granola that I was having for breakfast. You might have visions of a glob of oil floating in the milk. No way! The oil only enhanced my morning granola with the rich and yummy taste of coconut. Which also happens to be one of my favorite things to use in cooking and baking.

For our evening meal I decided to pull the large package of shrimp out of the freezer. I thawed them in cold water and then tossed them into a non-stick frying pan with approximately 2 Tablespoons of the oil. I had some leftover plain rice from the other night that I quickly through into my wok with some of the coconut oil, a touch of sesame oil, some frozen vegetables and some soy sauce. I also added a couple of shakes of a blend of spices that I use when preparing meat, just to add a little hint of spice to my coconut shrimp.

Tomorrow, I think that i will use Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil to fry up those chicken breasts that I recently bought.
