Loco for Coconuts

Coconut is one of those funny fruits that people love or loathe. If you fall into campo amor, have we got a product for you.

Packed with 100-per-cent organic fresh-pressed Philippine coconuts, Barlean’s extra virgin coconut oil (same oily, thick consistency of Vaseline) is as good on toast as it is on your tummy.

[Use it] “straight, in cooking, baking or frying, as a spread on toast or muffins and as a massage/body oil or hair tonic,” reads the label. Talk about multi-purpose.

And as long as you don’t mind smelling like a Daiquiri, it’s wicked on winter-worn, irritated skin. —Athena Tsavliris
