The Health Word for Today Is Coconut Oil

Here are a few facts you might or might not know about coconut oil. Did you know if you wipe the outside of each egg shell with a little bit of coconut oil to seal the pores of the shell. Coconut oil can prolong te life of your eggs stored in your refrigerator. Each egg wiped with the oil can stay up to 12 weeks without going bad. So if you need some eggs but don’t use a lot try this trick to preserve your eggs. Save a few dollars and stop buying non-stick cooking sprays for your kitchen. Instead of spraying all your baking pans with non-stick sprays, just milt a little coconut oil in the pan before you cook. Furthermore, when it is time to clean the pan it’s a breeze. For a better health and flavor stop buying oil, butter and margarine's. Instead replace all your oils, butter or margarine with coconut oil. In the morning spread a little coconut oil on your whole grain toast to give it a wonderful flavor. Furthermore, you can use coconut oil on your popcorn instead of butter. Plus, if you enjoy Chocolate Fondue, make your Fondue recipe with coconut oil instead. How do you use coconut oil in your home? I’d love to hear how you cook, clean, or replace other items in your kitchen with coconut oil. Do you have any to share? Image: My image

I did not know that about the eggs, thanks. I eat a teaspoon of coconut oil every day and do use it in my baking.

Try using a teaspoon of coconut oil in your morning coffee or tea to replace milk or sugar in your coffee or tea. Coconut oil has a great flavor and it's sweet and can add to your morning coffee or tea.

That is an excellent use of coconut oil. We do the same here. Many people use coconut oil in their hair to keep it soft and shinny and not dried out.

@gabs8513 No it doesn't because you don't use that much at all. I take a rag and use sprinkle a little on it and then rub it all through the rag. After I dust with it.

@dodoazo What gave you the idea I had stopped using it. It's all I do use except olive oil nothing else.

I have not tried using coconut oil as a butter replacement, but I prefer peanut butter made with all-peanuts, some brands add palm oil for some reason.

Coconut oil is good for you. It's so much better than milk, oil, butter and other things. You might want to try it and see how you like it.

@poehere I am a firm believer of everything, in moderation. And the closer to Nature, the better.

@pgntwo Do you know that coconut oil is made from the meat of the coconut. When you make the oil you take the meat out of the coconut and let it sit in the sun and then press it. All coconut oil is 100% natural and as close o nature as you can get.

@KristenH Please do. I love to use coconut oil for a lot of things. You know what else I do with it beside cooking. I use it to clean my wood around my home. I take an old rag and put a little on it and wipe down all my wood. This keeps the wood from drying out and shines better than commercial furniture cleaners.
