**Giveaway now closed.**
I told you there were giveaways coming! Let's start one today!Recently I received some Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions to review. It was perfect timing as I was wanting to start using coconut oil in my cooking. Wow - great stuff!
Not only is coconut oil healthy for you, but this Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is very high quality. You can read all about virgin coconut oil on the Tropical Traditions site.
Since this coconut oil is hand-processed, it has the scent and slight taste of coconut which my family enjoyed. It's solid when under 76 degrees F, which takes a little getting used to, but it melts really fast if you need it in liquid form.
I tried the coconut oil in several things: popping popcorn on the stove (so yummy), sauteing vegetables, Nutella Biscotti, and Orange-Chocolate Slice Cookies. I like how clean and clear the oil is and everything I've cooked with it has been delicious. I plan on continuing to use coconut oil in my cooking and am impressed with the quality of Tropical Traditions coconut oil.
Tropical Traditions has generously offered to give one of my U.S. **ETA: or Canadian** readers a 32 oz. jar of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil (pictured above)!! Wow - that's a $37.50 value!

Have a great day friends!
Oh I can tell you that without even leaving because I've visited their website a lot.
ReplyDeleteI buy their coconut oil and love it! I use it in all my baking.
Big coconut oil in banana bread is the best size hugs to you!
I don't have twitter but I am a fan on FB. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteAND I already get their newsletter!
ReplyDeleteThis was right up my alley! LOL!
I'm interested in the coconut oil, I've never used it. Also interested in the Omega-3 Greens and the natural skin care products.

I am interested in trying to coconut oil. I have heard about it a lot lately!
ReplyDeletefollowing on twitter!
ReplyDeleteOh I love coconut oil. I think the products on their site that interest me the most would be the oils and of course organic chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never used coconut oil, but would love to try!
ReplyDeleteAlso - looked at their site, I'd love to try their organic maple syrup!
I, too, have just started using coconut oil and I really like it! Another blogger had suggested red palm oil, but I do NOT like that one. I have been a fan of MacNut macadamia nut oil, but it is so expensive...also I use a high-quality olive oil (it's expensive too)
ReplyDeleteI've been reading more and more about the benefits of coconut oil and have been looking for a high quality brand. I also think the skin care products at Tropical Traditions look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'd actually be interested just to try the virgin coconut oil. I've just started to use it in some of my baking, but haven't had a chance to check out different brands. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm also now following you on twitter :)
ReplyDeleteOh that Coconut oil looks so good...count me in!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the organic section on their website...those wild caught fish are intriguing. Trying to eat a lot of fish these days! I would order the sardines and the salmon and tuna!
ReplyDeleteThe coconut shrimp recipe looks great...just sure of the calories?
ReplyDeleteThe organic chocolate sounds interesting. And maybe the organic teeth whitener. I could always use a little help in that area without the fear of harmful products along with it. :)
ReplyDeleteAlmond Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies
ReplyDeleteI bet theses are awesome!
I have been wanting to try coconut oil! Other then that the skin care looks interesting...the skin exfoliator specifically!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for the tropical traditions newsletter.
ReplyDeletelots of yummy recipes, but I would love to make the coconut vanilla granola!
ReplyDeleteI promoted this giveaway on facebook!
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm really interested in their deoderant. I switched to natural deoderants about 2 years ago, but haven't been able to find my old brand (which worked beautifully) for over a year. I'd love to see how Tropical Traditions works!
ReplyDeleteCoconut Peanut Butter Whole Wheat Brownies??? Yum-o! Gonna have to make them. Even if I'm the only one who will eat them. (did I just say that?)
ReplyDeleteJust shared this on Facebook!

i am overly obsessed with moisturizers. i think the citrus moisturizing cream sounds divine.
ReplyDeletethe coconut oil would be put to good use in my household :)
I just started using coconut oil and will never stop. It is amazing. I would love to try their Gold Label. I am also very interested in learning more about their cage-free, grass fed animals such as bison and turkey. We also just started eating bison and love it! I haven't researched it yet, but I'm hoping they have chicken too.

ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of their coconut oil as well as coconut creme & shredded coconut. The quality far surpasses any I have tried! christinegubitosi@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan! Starting using coconut oil a few months ago for cooking and for skin and hair care and I love it. So far I have given away MOST of my skin creams and lotions and have dumped the gallon of cooking oil that lives under the sink! I would love to try that coconut peanut butter on their site.
ReplyDeleteTropical Tradtions skin and hair care products are what interests me.
