I bought this one at Costco. I've begun to cook with coconut oil and I'm truly liking it.

Coconut 24/7: Easy Ways to Look and Feel Better by Pat Crocker

Sales of coconut water doubled between 2011 and 2012 and they’re still climbing as athletes and celebrities tout the benefits of coconut water. Coconut flour is becoming more widely available and being embraced by the paleo, gluten-free and wheat-free communities. Coconut sugar, now too, is being seen as beneficial for people trying to control their diabetes. And sales of coconut oil are skyrocketing. Coconut is the newest and hottest “superfood.” It’s also a trend outside of the world of food, as cosmetic and beauty companies are trumpeting the anti-aging and health benefits of coconut oil and incorporating it into their products.

Coconut 24/7 features over 100 recipes from morning to night so you can easily reap the benefits of coconut every day. We’ll include recipes that use coconut water (smoothies, juices, soups etc.), main dishes with coconut oil, baked goods with coconut flour and a raft of other easy, delicious recipes. And with Pat’s expertise as a herbalist, there will also be tips on making your own moisturizers, balms and creams with coconut.

Anything good in your mailbox?

    1. I love the coconut fruit and cooking with the oil but I don't like coconut water. Go figure!

  4. I'm not a fan of coconut so I'm not sure that's for me. I wonder if they've figured out a way to mask the flavor.

    1. Some brands of coconut oil are very aromatic and taste of the coconut while others do not.

  5. The only thing I've used is coconut oil, but would love to try the flour, sugar and beauty products.

    1. Me too. I bought coconut flour and plan to bake with it, especially since I'm on a gluten-free diet.
