Can you eat a tablespoon of coconut oil by itself? Or do you mix it with something? Thanks

According to all the research I've done on coconut oil, it is definitely beneficial health-wise to consume it, whether by itself or in things. I have taken it by itself, but couldn't get past the oil in my mouth. Might try again, though.

I haven't done so myself and am not sure that I would advise it. It does turn into pure, liquid oil as soon as you begin to handle it. I actually use it as oil for my pop corn when I cook on the stove. Adds a great flavor! It's certainly safe to eat, but eating it alone is going to depend on what you can stomach. Good luck!

From what I have read, I suppose it wouldn't hurt you, however it would be a lot more palatable with something. My experience with this brand is that it has considerable coconut flavor, so if you dont care for coconut, be warned. For cooking purposes, I will be looking for another brand.

Hi Monica, If you can stand it that way, I do not see why not. I put it in my mom's oatmeal. Some people put it on their toast instead of butter. I read where one man put it in his hot tea, this gave my mom a upset stomach so we quit that. You can bake it in muffins too. Hope this helps your question. :)

I use peanut oil as it has a high smoke factor - the tiniest bit of oil is used with stir fry , so shouldn't be a problem

No, you would use cocoa butter, coconut OIL, or shea butter. see a recipe at www.wellnessmama.com

I'm pretty sure you cannot. May want to ask the manufacturer. I do like to use Louana pure coconut oil.

I use a carrier oil... Because I think it is otherwise too strong for my personal choice.. I use coconut oil.4or 5 drops of balance to a tablespoon of carrier oil.I think it is also recommend on the website.But your personal choice as well. I love it.

I use 1 tablespoon but it depends on your individual taste. If you want it heavier, then use more, lighter then use less.

No but it may be used with carrier oil, which could. I mix with coconut oil, as it doesn't clog. I suppose anything could if you use too much. Sometimes I use without carrier.

I follow the same steps as Sonya, you can add the popcorn and salt as soon as the coconut oil is melted, the directions say wait a few moments but I find it seems to pop better for me if the kernels heat up along with the oil.

I like to add a little coconut oil to the bottle first. Then I add the required number of essential oil drops for the mixture I want. Finally I top off the rest of the bottle with more coconut oil and shake well to mix. I hope this helps! :)

Yes I have. I make almond butter. I takes a lot longer without oil, so the second time I uses a little almond oil and it was much better. The third time I made it I used a little almond oil and a little melted coconut oil. omg! it is GREAT.

I do not warm it up. I just run a spoon around in the coconut butter and it kind of flecks off and I mix it with fresh fruit and eat. If I were going to melt it, I'd get out the amount that I wanted to eat and microwave it just enough to make it soft. Probably 10 seconds and I would not think that would destroy the nutritional value.

Unless you gently heat the contents of the can (as in a pan of warm to hot water -- not over a burner!) the contents are separated. There are solids, and liquids in there that need to combine. So if it is warm enough for the coconut oil to be liquid, you can shake the can to mix up the contents, and pour some out. I don't see that happening much, in our 70-75 degree homes. So remove from the can, and blend. When you add it to coffee, it will liquefy. I keep my opened coconut milk in the fridge in a wide-mouth jar. Though it doesn't last long.

If you read the instructions on this page with this, it states if is pure. They strongly suggest you mix with olive oil or coconut oil.

Use coconut oil. It's NOT better. Some people feel popcorn tastes better yellow (what??). Really, this stuff is awful. I have a full container- don't know what to do with it. Surely won't use it. Personally, I use good ol' peanut oil now.

Good idea to use coconut oil ! They said not to put baby oil on it. it does stick out with nothing on it.
