Tropical Traditions: Coconut Oil (Review & Giveaway)


Popcorn has become such a popular reception food. It's fun, it's tasty, it's easy. I was recently sent a jar of Tropical Traditions Golden Label Virgin Coconut Oil and had to try their yummy Chocolate Coconut Snack Popcorn recipe. Let me tell you, this was good stuff! It had the sweet smell of coconut, the yummy white chocolate and a hint of cinnamon. I couldn't stop eating it! It tastes just like a gourmet popcorn, only better. And what's more, it was quick and easy to make.

Tropical Traditions was the first to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines into the US market. They are committed to time-honored traditional practices that have produced healthy coconut oil for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Of all the coconut oils on the market they have the highest levels of antioxidants. Check out this video

 "How We Discovered Virgin Coconut Oil - An Interview with Brian Shilhavy, CEO Tropical Traditions”

You can find a lot more recipes on their Free Coconut Recipes blog here: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com. I can't wait to try more recipes!

Giveaway: Tropical Traditions wants to give one lucky reader a jar of Golden Label Virgin Coconut Oil (a $29.50 value.) just like was pictured above, for free. Giveaway ends July 24 11:59 pm EST. Open to US and Canada.

Mandatory: (Must be done first) Visit their recipe blog and tell me another recipe that you would like to try. http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com

Tried it today and it’s delicious. (Although I would use a little more white chocolate because I love the sweetness.) Your blog is great!
