coconut butter/oil

smoothielove

I’m looking to buy some and I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation or if there is anything I should look for when buying, well besides it being raw. Thanks! Oh and if I was just going to buy one or the other, butter or oil, which do you recommend getting.

Artisana makes a coconut butter that is really thick and flavorful (like a butter). Coconut oil is just that, oil, it’s just solid at room temp. I find that many brands differ in how strong of a coconut taste the oil has. But I absolutely love the coconut butter!

Thanks so much coconutty! And can I ask which do you think you use more, the butter?

Well… it depends… I would say there are more uses for the oil and it is a whole lot more versatile. When I buy the butter I go through it pretty quickly cause it’s so darn good! I usually use it for dessert recipes like fudges and what not… or I just eat it! It’s nice to have on hand, but sometimes I just get a little carried away with it (oooops!). So I would say the oil would be the better buy just cause you can do much more with it.

Make sure you call the vender and see what tempatures the oil is processed at.Best be under 120 atleast.
