About Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil
Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil is one of the first virgin coconut oils to be exported to the United States from the Philippines. Brian Shilhavy (founder of Tropical Traditions) discovered the health benefits of coconut oil after moving to live in the Philippines with his wife, Marianita. He believes that coconut oil made by traditional methods are superior to the modern coconut oils found in stores. Tropical Traditions offers 3 types of coconut oil:
1. Gold Label Certifed Organic Coconut Oil
2. Tropical Traditions Green Label Organic Coconut Oil
3. Tropical Traditions Expeller-pressed Coconut Oil
How is This Oil Used?
Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use. It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.

Virgin Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a nutrient that supports the body’s immune system. Lauric acid is also found in human mother’s milk. Dr. Mary Enig suggests the average adult include about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil per day in their diet to take in an equivalent amount of lauric acid that a nursing infant would receive from breast milk.

What do I think about Gold Label Certifed Organic Coconut Oil
Pure coconut oils are used in many Asian Countries and become very beneficial to our health. We are very fortunate enough to have this oil available in US. I love the company makes pure oil without chemicals and preservatives by doing hand made processing from the fresh oconut meat that can be shredded by a wet mill and then cold-pressed using the water from inside the coconut. The milk is then allowed to sit for about 1/2 day to allow the oil to separate. The oil is then filtered and bottled. This coconut had very rich in flavor. Before shower, apply oil all your hair and take shampoo after 15 minutes to get your hair full of nourishment and minimize hair fall. I love to apply it on my dry skin and feel my skin look supplier and healthier. To give great aroma in the kitchen, fry fish with coconut oil and enjoy the flavor. Use it to replace the ordinary oil when you cook any meals for your family or add two tablespoon of oil on the hot pot meals to improve your health.
In this video, you can see the making of coconut oil is a long process by hand made processing. The people living in tropical lands are working so hard to make pure organic tropical coconut oil for us. We should thank them for making pure coconut oil.

Oh my goodness! Virgin coconut oil is FABULOUS!
Here’s my interesting tidbit to share… I’ve purchased virgin palm oil from TT in the past, and my gut reaction to the whiff was disgust! Can anyone relate????!!!!! Well, I’m here to give you a very valuable tip for getting sufficient, vitamin E into your diet with virgin palm oil!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fanfare . Trust me on this!!!!!!!!!!!! What you do, is you follow this recipe for doughnuts (the healthy kind):
Sprouted Grain Doughnuts:
Ingredients
· 1 ½ Cups Milk
· 2 Tablespoons Honey
· 1 Teaspoon Unrefined Sea Salt
· ½ Cup Butter
· 1 Egg, Beaten
· 2 Packages Dried Yeast
· 4 Cups Sprouted Flour (try making your own, sprout the wheat, dry, and grind (if you have a grain mill, or just buy some sprouted wheat flour online!)
· Coconut Oil and palm oil for Frying
· 1 Recipe Coconut Vanilla Glaze (below)
Sprouted Grain Doughnuts: Instructions
1. Warm milk, honey, salt and butter together.
2. Add yeast and wait five minutes for it to proof.
3. Mix liquid mixture with 1 beaten egg.
4. Add sprouted flour and knead thoroughly.
5. Form into a ball and allow to rise until double in bulk. I prefer to allow my breads to rise in an Excalibur dehydrator (see sources) which is efficient and effective.
6. Once the dough is doubled in bulk, roll it out with a rolling pin until ½-inch thick.
7. Cut with a doughnut cutter or other tool. We used an inverted mason jar for the doughnut and an apple corer for the center.
8. Heat a ½-inch to ¾-inch coconut oil and palm oil in a cast iron skillet over a medium-high flame.
9. Fry doughnuts 3 – 4 at a time in the oil. They’ll puff up nearly immediately.
10. Turn when golden brown – a few seconds – and fry the other side.
11. Remove doughnuts, cool and drain.
12. Top with coconut vanilla glaze.
Coconut Vanilla Glaze: Ingredients
· 1 Cup Coconut Oil, melted
· 3 Tablespoons Honey
· 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Coconut Vanilla Glaze: Instructions
1. Whip melted coconut oil, honey and vanilla together.
2. Keep warm and viscous, but not hot.
3. Pour over doughnuts or madeleines as appropriate.
IMPORTANT: FREEZE DOUGH AND FRY THE DOUGHNUTS WHILE STILL COLD! THIS STEP IS ESSENTIAL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE FORM OF THE DOUGHNUT WHILE FRYING.
Then, you prepare oil for frying — 3/4 coconut oil (expeller, not virgin) AND 1/4 PART PALM OIL!!!! The resulting doughnuts are YUMMY (KIDS WILL NOT SUSPECT THE SECRET!) Believe me, it’s worth it, just give it a chance!!!! And in case you are shocked that fried food is okay in moderation, AND AS LONG AS SATURATED FATS ARE THE OILS, google weston a price! Don’t continue to buy into the vicious attack on saturated fats!!!!!!!
Organic Chocolate
Why not try sweet potato fries as well using a coconut/palm oil combo?
