I was sent a jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to review on my blog. I had never used coconut oil before and was looking forward to it. Coconut oil is healthier to use in your cooking and baking. It is also an accepted ingredient to use in GFCF cooking. The Gold Label Virgin Coconut oil is an unrefined coconut oil made from organic coconuts. It is full of antioxidants, no trans fats and certified organic according to USDA standards.
What do I think of it? I was worried that my food would taste like coconuts. I used some to make pancakes, using a recipe out of The Kid – Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook. I tasted one without any syrup and it tasted just like a pancake should. I could not detect the taste of coconut in my pancakes. I was very happy with the results.
My family enjoyed them, too. Below are some pictures I took to show how much my son enjoyed his. The first one is him with his plate full. The next one is my son finishing his pancakes. Last, but not least, is my son eating my pancakes that he snagged while I was putting the camera away after taking the “finished” picture. That in itself tells me a lot. I did manage to get my plate back. It didn’t take long before he was full. After all, he had already finished his plate of pancakes.
This Giveaway is for 1 Qt. jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil and will run from May 30, 2009 to June 12, 2009. The winners will be announced on June 13, 2009. This giveaway is for USA only. Below are rules for entering this giveaway. Good luck.

Hello, I have just been learning the benefits of coconut oil and would love to win this. I have fibromyalgia and try everything I hear of that might help with managing it, so if I win it would be easier to try it out. Have you heard about using it as face and body moisturizer? As I said I have not tried it but it would sure be better than chemical ridden lotions bought at stores.

I use their coconut oil already, so this would help my grocery bill a little if I won! ;)
I actually just bought some while on sale, but winning a jar sure would help to test it out for it's health benefits.

Both my sons love pancakes and I have heard of Coconut ice cream being very tasty, but cannot bring myself to try it.
We also have the ADHD/autism kid friendly cookbook and I would like to try making something also with the coconut oil.
This would be for my family's use to try.
I've been wanting to try coconut oil for the longest time, but have been putting it off due to the cost. If I won this, I'll probably fall in love with it and start buying it regularly. :)

I am in the process of going GFCF. Any way to save some money doing it is great!

I heard that it is good for general health and a natural way to control cholesterol
I want to try this for all the health benifits I have heard about!
I have used coconut oil sparingly in the past as I did not realize it was a healthy item, I looked at it much like another heavy oil. This is enlightening.

My mother has started to use coconut oil and loves it.
She cooks with it. Uses it as a spread. Even puts it on her dry skin to heal the skin.
This would be given to my ma to help her.
Thank you.

I am always looking to try new products and ones that have a health benefit. I was not aware of how wonderful coconut oil is for your body but also to use in cooking.
I've been wanting to try it because I've heard of its health benefits, but I've always been deterred by the cost at the store. SO this would be great to win, thank you so much!

We love Coconut Oil- for cooking and for popcorn! If you cook it in the oil no need to add anything but a bit of salt and it is the best popcorn you ever ate.
I have not tried this brand before, but I would love to see if there really is such a big difference.
I follow your blog.

Coconut Oil is a big hit in our house! Especially when I was diagnosed with lupus. I knew I needed to start eating healthier, and low fat. Winning would be great and lighten our grocery bill a tad!

Thanks for the giveaway... Grapeseed oil and Coconut oil are the last on my list of healthy oils I have yet to try in the kitchen; I have read good things about this oil, that it is rich in lauric acid, a nutrient that supports the body’s immune system.
