I was sent a jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to review on my blog. I had never used coconut oil before and was looking forward to it. Coconut oil is healthier to use in your cooking and baking. It is also an accepted ingredient to use in GFCF cooking. The Gold Label Virgin Coconut oil is an unrefined coconut oil made from organic coconuts. It is full of antioxidants, no trans fats and certified organic according to USDA standards.
What do I think of it? I was worried that my food would taste like coconuts. I used some to make pancakes, using a recipe out of The Kid – Friendly ADHD & Autism Cookbook. I tasted one without any syrup and it tasted just like a pancake should. I could not detect the taste of coconut in my pancakes. I was very happy with the results.
My family enjoyed them, too. Below are some pictures I took to show how much my son enjoyed his. The first one is him with his plate full. The next one is my son finishing his pancakes. Last, but not least, is my son eating my pancakes that he snagged while I was putting the camera away after taking the “finished” picture. That in itself tells me a lot. I did manage to get my plate back. It didn’t take long before he was full. After all, he had already finished his plate of pancakes.
