This Giveaway is Now Closed! Thank you all for participating.
Congratulations #151 Teresa!
Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil is produced in the Philippines by small scale, family businesses. They use only the highest quality, hand selected, organic coconuts for their Gold Label brand. To earn the designation as the Gold Label Standard , the product is tested to show that it contains the highest amounts of antioxidants available in Virgin Coconut Oil. In addition to high levels of antioxidants, it also contains lauric acid which is found in mother’s milk.
Uses for coconut oil include:
- Cooking – Coconut oil is an all purpose oil. Great for everything from frying to replacing butter in your everyday cooking. It is a choice oil because of its high antioxidant content. Need recipes? Tropical Traditions has plenty of great sounding free coconut recipes!
- Hair Treatment – Coconut oil is able to penetrate the hair shaft thus reducing protein loss in damaged, as well as, undamaged hair. It can be used for dry scalp and as a conditioner.
- Skin Care – With its high levels of antioxidants, virgin coconut oil is a choice base oil for skin care products. Whether it is moisturizers, soaps or deodorants, all of Tropical Traditions products show higher levels of antioxidants than others.
Upon delivery, my jar had solidified! I found out that this is characteristic of coconut oil when stored below 76F. This was easy to remedy – I simply placed the jar in warm water to re-liquify. After opening, it is unnecessary to refrigerate coconut oil.
I had never used coconut oil before so it has been fun experimenting! While trying it successfully in several recipes, one of our favorite items to use it in has become pancakes. It gives a wonderful hint of coconut flavor. The oil itself has such a smooth coconut flavor – it really reminds you of the tropics!
You May Purchase It! You may purchase direct from TropicalTraditions.com. They have coconut oil products which include: Gold Label Standard Coconut Oil, skin care, hair care, household goods, pet products, recipes and books.
You May Win It! I am pleased to offer one Dimes2Vines readers a 32 oz jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Standard Coconut Oil. This giveaway will end on March 20, 2010 at 11:59pm CST and is open to all US residents. The winner will be posted here and notified by email. Please be sure to leave contact information.
