"This was our first taste of unrefined CO and we love it! The coconut taste was light, but enough to really deepen the taste of our pancakes, breads and more.
I will definitely be purchasing more!"

"Garden of Life coconut oil is a great source of healthy fat. It is an excellent choice for cooking at higher heat, and the flavor does not stand out/compete with the other tastes in your food. I especially appreciate the fact that it comes in a glass jar, as chemicals from plastics tend to migrate into fat even more than other contents. I have smelled other coconut oils and even ones that say "natural" or "unrefined" sometimes have a slight solvent odor."

"I purchased this to help maintain my weight. The only thing I don't like are the calories. I do not take the recommended amount for this reason. I use this in place of other oils to cook and bake with. I even use it in my coffee for a coconut flavor, it is greasy but tastes great. Less fat than creamers though."

"Every time I open the jar I love the smell. I substitute it for butter in many recipes. It does not burn and scorch if you melt it in a pan in the oven.
I also use it on my skin, and I sometimes put a small amount on my hair to calm the frizzies."

"This is just delicious, wait till you open the jar and get a whiff! I love it. Mix it up with YS raw honey, organic peanut butter, some wholesome cereal, and "garden of life super seed", it is really sweet and coconutty, almost like eating a dessert but so good for you. Eat it for breakfast to supercharge your day! Great product, great quality. Will definitely buy more!"

"There's something different about Garden of Life (GOL) coconut oil. I have tried Jarrow, Organic Cupboard, Nutiva and Now Foods organic extra virgin coconut oils. The texture is much smoother than the others. The coconut flavor of GOL is a little bit milder. It is whiter also. They claim it is hand pressed and fermented to extract the oil, whereas the others are expeller (mechanically) pressed. It seems to me that it is more pure and concentrated than the other oils."

"I have tried many brands of coconut oil and they vary greatly in taste. This is the best one I have found with a very mild flavor and is also consistently fresh. (In the past, I've had other brands ship rancid oil on more than one occasion.) The prices at Vitacost are always the lowest I find anywhere. I would highly recommend this product."
