What is the difference other than price, between this product and Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil? And also smell, cooking, and taste wise?

This is RBD (refined,bleached & deodorized). Refined oils have a higher 'smoke point'; Virgin coconut oil is for medium heat ~ 350oF & this has a smoke point ~ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point

Well neither taste like a coconut. :) But organic is a certification on how it is grow. Not taste quality or usefulness. So if u have money to blow and ur a must have organic kinda person then u want that other product.

This coconut oil is as tasty and nutritious as any product I have ever used. I have used coconut oil for decades. I have paid the highest price for "the best" product. Meantime I have learned that the coconut is a super-food and is virtually indestructible as far as nutritional qualities, and I have proved this for my own purposes. Do not contaminate the oil by introducing something on a utensil that is not clean. I mixed butter and coconut oil [for my own convenience] only to find that it molded in the refrigerator. So, it is extremely important to keep the oil clean from any contamination. It will serve you well. Good health to you! This coconut oil is as tasty and nutritious as any product I have ever used.

So far I have been through about 1/2 of the gallon. I use it for cooking and cosmetics.I find it is exactly the same in every discernible way as the small, but pricey, jar of organic coconut oil that Walmart sells. Calling it "Popcorn Oil" is a little confusing and misleading, as it is just pure 100% coconut oil with no added flavors. I also love the convenience of the large container so I don't have to buy so often. I am so glad I bought it! I will definitely buy it again!! I hope this answers your concerns :)

The quality is definitely comparable. It is delicious and the same super-food that coconut offers.

I use this oil in making soap & body butter for the most part & have used it for cooking when I don't want the coconut flavor. Wonderful oil no taste no smell otherwise performed just like any other brands I've used.

Coconut oil is the best replacement for your current oils. Its has a high flash point and gives great flavor to food. I've also heard grapeseed and palm oils are good but I prefer coconut. Also make sure when purchasing coconut oil extra virgin cold pressed so you get as much nutrients as possible. The current oils you are using are stripped of their smell for longer shelf life so its rancid before it gets to you and you wont even know it

this is more for a carrier oil for massage (you can add essential oils to it)wouldn't recommend it for eating (you can Google it...not 100% sure). It has no smell to it (and probably no taste) but if you want a no taste coconut oil, I'll recommended Wilderness Family Natural.com, they have a non flavored coconut oil that I use for my frying and baking. Buying a gallon a year :) Hope it helps

I believe this is pure MCT oil, where regular coconut oil will have other contents. I add this to my morning coffee, along with organic butter. It has helped me lose weight (after already eating healthy and exercising), and gives me more energy.

This is just plain coconut oil with coloring added, no taste difference. I would recommend getting the same thing without the color, though. My review has my reasons. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your specific question. But I will tell you that even though I enjoy coconut I did not enjoy it in this product. The coconut oil was overpowering, and everything I cooked had a taste of coconut. It's all a matter of personal taste. Since I did not care for it, I threw it away.

I'm glad you asked me this question...last year I purchased several boxes of Lets Do organic Creamed Coconut... without exaggerating.... it was the most disgusting coconut product I've ever eaten...in fact, it was unedible....It tasted like "soap".......I wrote to the company about this product and never have I heard a word from them......I've not tried the coconut manna...however, at amazon do buy Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil...it is "fantastic"...I cook with it, eat it by the spoonfuls and also use it as a hair conditioner & body/face cream...I love Nutiva Products...

howdy Sandra,i don't own a nutri bullet, just a magic bullet. however, the comment by J. Ford is quite correct. the only significant differences are price [nutri > magic] and wattage/power/force [nutri > magic]. so if you are only going to use it for fruits and veggies, the magic is good enuf. also, if you are unsure you will really make use of the device, the cheaper one is a good way to get a start without committing too much moolah. [*grin*] take care,lee

Organic extra grade is great for cooking and also a great fragrance. I purchased mine for my daughter's wedding, but I will cook with the remainder.

Well just noticing the one on this picture doesn't have it. However it says organic cocnut. I have organic virgin coconut oil unrefined and it does have the usda label on it. Hope that helped a little. Check to see if yours is reg organic coconut or if it says virgin coconut

I have used olive oil and the popcorn tasted fine. I never used coconut oil. In my opinion, to answer your question - I'd choose olive oil as being the healthiest. I hope that helps!

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is. I have done TONS of research on coconut oil and this organic, extra virgin, cold pressed Nutiva brand is AMAZING. If you get it in the 54oz twin pack, auto shipped it's also the cheapest one out of all of the jugs (yes, I spent literally HOURS going over price!! lol) I hope this helps at least somewhat. :) I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is.

The only way I see these drops as "better" is that the oil added is pure coconut oil (as opposed to a combo of coconut & palm which is in the Carlson drops). Personally, I believe coconut to be an healthier option.

The product is made from Nutiva. They are known for their natural consumption products. Many people who are vegan usually purchase their products or people that consider themselves "health nuts." If it is produced around eggs I wouldn't use it. But the label doesn't state it is and usual the labels state if it is.

Nutiva coconut manna was a whole food consisting of the oil and the coconut flesh that is blended up to a fine consistency. Coconut oil is a solid below 75 degrees or so and manna is too. Nutiva brand needed to be stirred up once I received it and the flesh had a somewhat gritty texture. Artisana coconut butter was also solid but retained its combined texture very well and had less of a gritty texture at room temperature. They will both melt down on any foods you wish to put them on. I haven't tried Let's Do brand yet but out of those two I've had Artisana was a winner. Nutiva was too gritty for me. If you want a creamed coconut their coconut butter is probably your wish.

I don't feel that it is the same. The coconut oil is wonderful to cook with while the coconut butter is not. It is mused as a topping I think. Two different products for 2 different purposes.
