What kind of coconut oil to get:

The best coconut oil to get is un-refined. The reason why is because it hasn't been processed. But, if you're using it in baking, keep in mind it leave leave a slight coconut taste! Before I realized this, I used it in baking chocolate cookies and that didn't turn out too well. So, now I usually use organic olive oil or peanut oil in baking.
