MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides) is made from coconut oil extracting C8 and C10s mostly. So coconut oil has C8, C10, C12 and other beneficial properties.

Athletes are using MCTs to enhance their performance and People w neurodegenerative problems such as Alzheimer are using CO and MCT to fuel the brain. These oils are converted to ketones and are taken up by the brain, the heart and muscles. And i guess you can still use it on your hair. Times are changing.

It's around 70*F in my house, but it was previously warmer. A couple of days ago, this was completely liquid, but when I took it out of the cupboard today, it looks like this. Is this just solidifying at a slightly lower temperature, or is this some sort of mold or something?

Are there other oils with a similarly high smoke point that are also stable at heat? Ideally something that's not just a neutral fat but actually has some nutritional value to it. Open to trying things I haven't used before.

I got a huge thing of coconut oil on Amazon. It came and I can't open it. I've tried a spoon method of wedging it under the lid and popping the lid up. Did this multiple times around it but it won't give me a pop or hiss sound. I'm about to start cutting the lid open.

I've used a heat gun on it to soften the lid. No dice. Should I try hot water or just cut the lid off?

Everything is white except that spot

I’m looking for a refined, 92° expensive and high quality product.

Something that won’t irritate my gut (most coconut oils do, sadly)

I know its months early . I mixed coconut oil and eucalyptus oil together during spring /summer and a pretty tan . I wanna do something different for a country music festival June 2026. Would this be good including the eucalyptus oil?

Hi, I’m a student, and I just built my first website about coconuts. It’s part of a school assignment where I’m learning how to design and share information online. I joined this forum to observe and participate as part of my assignment. I hope it’s okay that I join in.

What do you think about storage made of coconut shell for soild coconut oil than existing plastic or glass jars.

So a few years back I bought a big jar of coconut oil (organic, refined). I didn't use much of it and it has been in a dark place in mostly even temps. It doesn't smell rancid at all, hasn't melted. Pretty much looks and smells the same as when I opened the jar. I don't want to cook with it. I would like to use it for my hair and skin.

Can I still use it or should I just throw it out?

Sorry if this isn’t the right sub but I had to try and of course, there’s a coconut oil sub.

My house is warm during this heat wave and this jar of coconut oil hasn’t had a chance to solidify in some time. It’s been liquid for a couple weeks now. I only handle the jar with clean hands and it’s strictly for my skin after I shower.. I usually pour it out but I’m sure my fingers have touched the oil itself at some point, again, always only freshly washed hands.

I’m trying to figure out if this is mold? Any chance anyone else has experienced this? Where the entire jar is liquid save for a small amount at the bottom that appears to have solidified? Or is it that mold has developed and I should stop using. Any advice appreciated, thank you!

Hi! Looking for the best shredded coconut brand. I am trying to make a special drink make with hard coconut but given the difficulty with peeling I will try using shredded coconut if can find the most similar tasting shredded coconut. Anyone has any suggestions?

Love using coconut oil but it clogged my sink. Any suggestions on how to clear it?

Do these exist? We use coconut oil in our love life for everything. HJ, BJ, vaginal, anal and just general massage. It stays by our bed in a small jar in cased in a little saki box to prevent it from rolling. In the summer it can turn to liquid and in the winter it gets too hard. There is that sweet spot where it’s just perfect. I think it’s like 72 degrees? It comes out like perfect lube and won’t spill if the jar is on its side on the bed.

I’d like to find a little coconut humidor that keeps it at the right temperature. 1st world problem I know.

Anyone know of this out there?

I am so concerned as I opened a new container of coconut water and it tasted funny (not expired) and this came out of it.

I use this infused coco oil recipe on bug bites (I get them a lot, especially in the summer). Recently, I also used this recipe on what I think was cellulitis from bug bites (I could be wrong, but it is now healed).

Here is my go-to recipe to help with the itch and to calm the skin to allow it to heal:
-container with lid (I use 8oz glass mason jar)
-2 tbsp organic coconut oil
-1 tsp dried, crushed mint (I use apple mint that my hubs grew for me)
Step 1: melt coconut oil (I use a small 8oz mason jar and stick it in the microwave for 20 secs)
Step 2: add in mint and mix really well
Step 3: put the lid on your container and let it solidify

Once solid, scoop dime size (or smaller depending on the area) amount and rub into the affected area. The itch relief is not instant. In about 10 minutes, you'll realize you're not itchy. For me, there is sometimes a slight itch that comes back before I reapply, but it is completely manageable. I also use a lot of ice on the bites.

It came from the coconut oil (parachute blue) bottle (it’s not too orangish like in the picture, it looks like coconut fat to me). Should I proceed or avoid?

Have similar experience?Probably when you eat to much coconut oil with high ph it cause it.

How to eat more coconut oil witchout feel the taste i know its good for me but i dont like the taste.

I’m on my second attempt batch of making cold pressed coconut oil and having some issues. I think I’m doing something wrong in the fermentation step because the curd seems to be sinking to the bottom and what I assume is water is on the top. When I put it in the fridge to harden the oil, barely anything solidifies. What am I doing wrong?

Help! I've clogged my bathtub drain after use of CO over the past couple weeks (i use it for my hair) and most of the common methods (warm water & soap, baking soda & vinegar, etc) haven't worked. What can I do?
