Tropical Traditions - Virgin Coconut Oil - Review and Giveaway!!!

Tropical Traditions was generous enough to send me a quart of their virgin coconut oil to try and to then write a review on.

I have had this for a little over a month now and I have used very little at this point.  1.  The portion they sent me was very generous; and 2. I had a reaction to the product that was not the fault of the product – - I will explain.

Upon receipt of the supply of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions I tasted a little directly out of the jar.  It had a pleasant light coconut flavor (this is what makes it in the “virgin” category).  I then proceeded to cook with it using it to coat my frying pan for a chicken stir fry.  All of those things were pleasant and positive about the product.  A few hours later, however, the product had produced a laxative effect on me and after doing some searches on the internet I found that it could be because I no longer have a gallbladder.  I haven’t had a gallbladder since I was 20 years old.  This was my first time ever consuming coconut oil and some of the articles I read suggest that those of us without gallbladders may have to build up a tolerance to it.

I will reiterate that I think the product itself is fine and I’m not just saying that because I was supplied with it.  I truly believe that it happen due to circumstances beyond my control.

Needless to say, I will continue to use the product.  There are a couple of recipes I want to try that call for it, like black bean fudge and chocolate chip cookie dough balls.  I also hear that it’s great for your skin.
