Hey I thought some of you might appreciate me letting you know that Mountain Rose Herbs is selling their coconut oil cheaper then I have see it for a while. Honestly I'm surprised to see prices go down on ANYTHING lately so when I noticed this I quickly ordered me some! Even before they lowered their price this has been the most affordable place I know of to get coconut oil. I bought a 5 gallon bucket of it a while back hoping that it would be as good as quality as the other brands I had been buying.
IT IS GREAT! I love it!
I have also tried some of their essential oils and herbs and so far have been very impressed. I have not yet compared prices or quality of their other oils but I'm guessing they will be good too. I will let you know when I do. For now if you use or want to start using coconut oil this is the best quality and price I have ever found!

1 Gallon of Virgin Unrefined Coconut oil is $37 plus shipping (which I'm sure varies but is about 10$ for me)
5 Gallon bucket is $149 plus about $25 shipping
It comes right to your door and every time I order it seems like it only takes a few days.
They also have refined coconut oil for less! It also appears that most everything they sell is organic too which I also really like!
The hardest part is finding it on their site but I'm going to help you with that right now.
What you will want to do is click on the moving picture frame link on my sidebar that says "A Passion...for Organics...." and some other stuff. That will take you to the site. From there you want to click on the tab "Products."

Again you want to go to the square titled BULK INGREDIENTS and click on the words Carrier Oils. There will then be a A-Z list you want to click under the A-C on the words click here for....
Then you will get a list of their bulk oils from A-C scroll down you will see both kinds of coconut oil. I get the Virgin Unrefined it is second to the last on the page.
You click on the blue arrow and you can choose if you want 1 or 5 gallons you can also change the quantity if you want more then one and then you add it to your cart then I'm pretty sure you can figure out the rest! GOOD LUCK! Let me know if you need help. ;)

If you want to learn more about the benefits of coconut oil you can go here! Some of the things I have used it for or have heard it being used for are:
- moisturizer (I love how soft it makes my skin)
- acne
- oil treatment in hair (I love how soft it makes my hair;)
- rashes and/or eczema
- frying (the only oil I know of that is still good for you after it has been heated)
- grilling vegetables
- baking (I use constantly in place of butter, shortening, or margarine in recipes)
- a carrier oil
- etc. etc. etc.
What do you use coconut oil for?
I have a bucket of both kinds of coconut oil. I use the virgin kind on toast, or in recipes where the flavor doesn't matter. Other than that I use it for everything you use it for!
ReplyDeleteWe love the raw coconut oil at our house! The flavor is amazing- definitely will be ordering more soon.
ReplyDeleteDo you use the refined at all? If so what for? We have been using the raw in most everything. What about your olive oil, where do you buy that from? We found cold-pressed olive oil at Sam's club... is that what we want?
Courtney: I actually don't even bother to buy the refined. but I'm sure if you were making soap or something with it that would be a cheaper way to go. I get my Olive oil from Azure Standard, I really like the Bragg's brand Extra Virgin Cold Presssed Olive Oil.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteWe just placed our first order with mountain rose herbs and can't wait to try the coconut oil! Of course we looked through the seasonings and picked up the all purpose and mexican seasonings to try!
Do you have any recommendations for switching from a very SAD diet? We're trying to eat more vegan (cooked and raw combined) and so far LOVE the desserts you post...we all really dug into the keylime pie!!! Having a hard time with giving up cheeses though...
Love seeing new posts on your site! It's a highlight here!!! :)
findingtrueserenity: Just keep on making my desserts that way you won't crave the other sweets. Green Smoothies are a great way to get off the SAD diet. They will help nourish you and keep you from craving the stuff you don't need. As far as cheeses go have you tried my different cheeze sauces? Cheese can be so addicting!
ReplyDeleteHooray for coconut oil...oh, and low prices, of course!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered the coconut oil, thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried sprouted wheat bread? It is soooo good. I just started making it. It is so moist and whole wheat. I would love to get the recipe to you and see what you think?...I could put it on my blog for you to look at.
Do you do much sprouting?
Thanks for answering my questions before.
Cassie: I have tried sprouted wheat bread but I have yet to make my own. I would LOVE to try your recipe!!! I have sprouted off and on! We love sprouts and buy them frequently at the health food store. I just bought a bunch of sprouting seeds and I hope to get into a better habit of sprouting and always having them around. I would love any helps and tips you have!
ReplyDeleteWOW is all i have to say. i just found your blog and i love it. it is JUST what i have been looking for. i am thrilled to try your recipes. THANK YOU!

I discovered it works great in place of margarine on grilled sandwiches, poured directly on popcorn with salt also(in warm weather, melt if cooler weather). Kim
ReplyDeleteI use it for soapmaking, popping popcorn, cooking veggies, stir fry, anything! Oh, it makes homeade maple syrup taste divine.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that you substitute coconut oil for butter, shortening and margarine. Do you use the same amount that the recipe calls for - i.e. two tablespoons of butter equals two tablespoons of coconut oil? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Yep that is pretty much what I do. I have found with some recipes I actually use a little less coconut oil but yeah it's pretty close to the same.
ReplyDeleteCoconut oil is amazing! We use it for everything in this household, from a beauty item to goodness healthy fat to make veggie tamales that leave me so satisfied yet light. Love coconut oil!
