    I read about it on here so looked for it when shopping, but was thrown a bit when I saw it! How do you use it? Do you soften it first somehow?

    Teeki above 22degrees Celsius it is a liquid so doesn't take much to soften it and usually in summer or if you live somewhere hot it's always a liquid.

    Me! As you already know.

    Love it as a body moisturiser. Living in qld it's liquid the majority of the time so I have a pump bottle in the bathroom. Use it in cooking and lots of things!

    I just buy mine from the health food shop.

    I get mine from the health food shop. Since I've turned Paleo, I'm using it more and more these days. I like it to cook with better than olive oil in my fry pan

    There are SO many recipes out there now that includes it, I made a fruit and nut bar yesterday that had half a cup of it in there - and they are pretty nice! Can't wait to try more things.

    I buy mine from the health food store, but coles sells it now too.

    em.. - I made a muffin recipe from the website of the manufacturer of the coconut flour I bought. It was very yummy I think it also used coconut oil in the recipe.

    I get mine at the local IGA. I have two awesome cake recipes I use it in. And it's great in porridge.

    Otherwise, on nappy rash, cold sores, cradle cap.
