So I bought coconut oil at costco today. Turns out it's unrefined and very coconut-y. Is there any difference in using it? Will it behave differently in fatbombs or anything?

Right now I'm doing my first oil-pulling with it and loving the taste.

    I will only buy organic, unrefined cold pressed. I just try to avoid anything with the word "refined". I guess I associate it with so many things that food companies have already ruined.

    I saw organic unrefined cold pressed coconut oil at WM last night in the baking isle. Both 54 oz and just under and just over $20 each. I use 14 oz glass jars from Krogers because take up less counter space. They run $6 - $8 depending on sales.

    Same here.. I didn't like the consistency or taste of refined CO at all.

    I buy both, they work the same. I love the coconut flavor in most things, especially hot cocoa

    Like making bpc but no coffee, just cream or water, cocoa powder, sweetener if you like and coconut oil, I add cinnamon and cayenne to make it a little spicy

    Chocolate protein powder or cocoa
    coconut oil
    Butter
    Heavy whipping cream
    Blend with hand immersion blender and top up with boiled water or coconut cream/milk.

    I've started using Carringtons coconut oil in with my double cream coffee, if I add to hot liquid and as it melts the weight changes. I now put my 10g in the empty mug. Think it's an acquired taste, getting better every day, give some to the dog too in the hope it'll help with the excess moulting. Coconut oil has so many uses.
