I was very kindly sent the *Vita Coco Extra Virgin 100% Raw Coconut Oil (£5.99, 250ml) and I couldn't wait to try it. They suggest that it is perfect for sit frying and baking or on toast, the latter is something I never thought to do. There is an almost endless list of uses for coconut oil and I actually included a section all about coconut oil in my two page article in the Blogosphere magazine which was released last month so if you can definitely check it out.
I've been using the Vita Coco coconut oil quite a lot since I received as a substitute for olive oil when cooking vegetables and I have tried it on toast and I personally don't like to eat it that way - it's a little strange. I have also used it in making vegan apple crumble as a substitute for butter and it works really well, obviously not quite as well as butter but it is much healthier.
Overall, I've loved using the Vita Coco coconut oil so far and I just love the packaging! Vita coco also make coconut water (I've tried the lemonade one and I loved it) and they make Vita Coco Caffe which contains coffee - I need to try! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
Have you tried any products from Vita Coco?
I've heard so many great things about this! and you are right, the packaging is adorable and different! This is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, it is something I keep meaning to try too! the coffee one sounds amazing (please can you review that if you do try it?)
