What is the difference between coconut cream concentrate and coconut oil. Do you have both for sale with Amazon?

Hello, coconut cream concentrate is whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It is more of a coconut butter. The dried coconut meat is ground very finely, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high fat content, much like other nut butters. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil. Currently, we do not sell the concentrate.

http://zico.com/faqs/ Here you can find the answers to your questions about this product. Yes it is from concentrate. I have tried many coconut waters, and i just like the taste of this one the best. Of course I'd rather be on a tropical beach sipping out of a fresh green coconut but that's not always possible.

Coconut water and coconut oil are two different things. Just like water and oil are two different things. It's like asking, is water better than oil for cooking.

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 actually use both! This is a foam, rather than a cream. They are both gentle, with a few different ingredients.

True. Virgin coconut oil is still virgin coconut oil with or without the "extra" word.

I'm sorry I don't know. I buy the fractionated specifically for blending with essential oils. The label states that fractionated coconut oil used in some skin and hair products. But no directions for this specific product

No, this is coconut milk and is thinner than coconut cream. The cream does separate, though, so if you want to you can scoop the coconut cream out rather than mixing it up.

Although it says "Virgin" on its label - there's really not a difference in the two. The big difference is refined vs unrefined. I've had both and absolutely prefer the unrefined oil. Here's an excerpt from: http://www.livestrong.com/article/266229-what-is-the-difference-between-virgin-extra-virgin-coconut-oil: "Unlike olive oil - whose `extra virgin' label denotes a better quality product and commands a higher price - no such distinction exists in the coconut oil industry. The addition of an "extra virgin" label to coconut oil remains a marketing gimmick, rather than an indication of the oil quality." I hope this helps.

Kernel is the coconut itself. Dr. Bronner has two types of coconut oil, whole kernel and white kernel, the difference? Whole Kernel uses the brown skin that is between the coconut and its shell, while White Kernel doesn't.

No, there's no similarities , I think you should stick to your virgin coconut oil. I don't think it's 100% pure.

I emailed Nutiva directly. Here is their response: "We are now labeling all of our coconut oil as virgin coconut oil. It is still the same high quality, organic coconut oil that we have always sold. Some countries, like Canada, do not allow the use of the term extra virgin to describe coconut oil. As we expand into other markets around the world it was thought best to use the term virgin coconut oil across our entire line instead of using different terms for the exact same product in different countries. We haven't changed the quality of our coconut oil, only our label. There is no difference between virgin and extra virgin coconut oil. They are both marketing terms with no definition in law or regulations. Unlike olive oil which has multiple pressings, organic coconut oil has just one pressing. Our coconut oil is the same product as before, but we are using a different marketing term on the label." It would be nice if the sellers of this product would let consumers know about this, as Nutiva says they've asked all of their retailers to inform their customers. This knowledge would have saved me much time and hassle.

The Cream is 100% pure coconut cream, it is neither watered down, nor has the full coconut fat content been diminished. Though it doesn't indicate the water vs coconut content, it is clear when sampled that it is truly a cream and not watered down at all. This coconut cream will even whip up into a whipped cream to die for. Coconut milk wont whip up at all. Another wonderful thing about this cream is that it is awesome for using in making homemade non dairy ice cream. I hope I have helped. I tried various sites to find the coconut vs water content but none of the information I found gave any answer to that.

I looked at the ingredients on the label. Organic sesame oil, amla oil, and essential oil fragrance. Did not see any coconut oil listed.

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

Coconut cream is thick and concentrated; coconut milk is the consistency of cow's milk, far less rich.
