Gluten-free Giveaway and Review: Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil

In addition to my gluten sensitivity, I have had allergic reactions to many coconut products. Therefore, I was hesitant on testing this product, but lo and behold I had no reaction at all to this product! The probable reason? I read that many people who have food allergies may not have an allergic reaction to a food when consuming their organic version. Avoiding chemicals, artificial ingredients, etc. is supposed to help those with food allergies. Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is not refined. The coconut is shredded (wet milled); cold pressed using the water from the inside of the coconut to make coconut milk; allowing it to sit for about a day to allow the oil to naturally separate from the milk; and then naturally separating the oil from the milk. Their process is highly commended and makes recipes tastes wonderful!

You may have already checked out my recent recipe, Gluten-free Almond Chestnut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Oh so good! They taste like gourmet gluten-free macaroons, and I didn’t even add any coconut!

I just ran out of my coconut oil. It is a staple of my very limited sugar & gluten free diet. I would be so grateful if I won!

I would like to be entered into this giveaway because I know coconut oil is a healthy choice. I have tried TT's expeller-pressed coconut oil and liked it very much and would like to try the Gold Label.
