I've never used it as a food item, but my massage therapist just started
using food grade coconut oil (it's actually a solid) instead of massage
oils as a trial run and I liked it. Nice aroma and good for the skin.
Plus she said it is exactly the same ingredients as the coconut massage
oil but is much cheaper.
