Has anyone here used this? I know it is widely used in raw, vegan foods but
I didn't try it until recently. I was looking for a toast spread but this
isn't going to be it! Reminded me of what a piece of chalk would taste like
if dipped in coconut extract. I tried it twice. First time I couldn't get
much out of the jar because it had just arrived, was very cold and hard as a
rock. Second time, I tried warming it but... Ick.

Tried it again today. Thin layer under some margarine. Thankfully I did
finally find some that I can eat that tastes good. And then a think layer
of orange marmalade. Had to gag it down. The chalkiness and coconut flavor
took over everything else.

I wound up tossing it. It was that bad. I just don't want to try using it
in something else and ruining that. I know some people love the stuff so
much that they eat it straight up with a spoon. I just can't see how.

If you use it... How do you use it? What do you put it in?

Thanks.

It gives suntan lotion a good smell. eheh

I know it's used in some cooking but not to spread on bread
like normal butter.

Names can be misleading. I once used a recipe that called
for "cream of tartar." Never heard of it before so I just assumed,
"cream of" and I'll just use a TBS of half and half instead.
Big mistake. I had no idea it was a powder.

One coconut version I've read about and have always wanted to
try is called "Uto." This is a ripe coconut that has fallen
onto the ground then started to sprout. The water inside is
absorbed by the coconut meat and the inside turns into a
foam-like consistency. Eaten raw is not good. You roast the
whole coconut in the oven or over the coals very slowly, like
overnight. After cooking, open and scrape out the cooked
foamy meat and add cream for a nice dessert-like dish.

I wonder if Asian market sell these or maybe you'd just have to live
where coconuts grow?

Do a search for "uses for coconut butter"

It is NOT coconut oil.

One of my DILs uses a lot of it, but only cooked. She uses it for
roasting meat or potatoes or vegetables, and in baking.

If I do a search, that will not tell me what those here use it for. A
search tells me that it is used on toast. My mouth tells me that it
shouldn't be.

Yes, see for yourself, this is the brand she uses, labelled "coconut
butter for cooking "

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.

After I posted I had to look it up because I didn't know there was a
difference. This might be the site you looked at, and they do mention
spreading on toast. If it isn't to your liking, you're probably better
off not using it for that. Apparently some do.

I googled and it sounds like you're supposed to treat it like any
other nut butter.
http://thecoconutmama.com/25-ways-to...oconut-butter/


Things you can do with coconut butter (or coconut cream concentrate):
http://balancedbites.com/what-the-he...oconut-butter/

- Spoon coconut butter straight from the jar and eat it. Yes, really.
- Blend it 50/50 with raw organic nut butter and use it as you would
nut butter, or refer to #1
- Spoon it over baked sweet potato or roasted winter squash.
- Mix it into a curry or similar dish with some water in place of
coconut milk
- Combine it with cacao powder, coconut oil and a tiny bit of honey
to make a candy-treat
- Use a tablespoon or two in a smoothie for added thickness and some
healthy fat
- Toss some shrimp or chicken in a spoonful of it with coconut oil
and hot sauce for a buffalo-style sauce
- Drizzle it softened over berries in a bowl for an amazing dessert
- Blend up a non-dairy coffee creamer (with cocoa or without)
- Anything you’d do with either chocolate sauce or nut butter-
substitute in coconut butter

I had no idea what coconut butter was until I looked it up and it's
different from coconut oil.

I think this is another case of you calling a food one thing when we call it
another. That sounds like coconut oil to me. This is what I bought:

http://www.artisanaorganics.com/coconut/

You will need to click the link for the butter. As you can see, it is
merely ground coconut.

Yes, I had read that. Also at the site where I bought it, people gave rave
reviews and said that they loved it on toast. One person didn't like it at
all. I'd side with him.

Yes. I had heard of it as it is used in a lot of raw vegan recipes. I
think I even ate some chocolate candy with it in there. I never bought the
candy again so it must not have been too memorable.

I use coconut oil on my hair and skin. I also use soap made of it. And I
use it in most of my baking. Also for popping popcorn. You can get
different kinds. If you don't like the scent, you can get unscented. On my
skin, I use fractionated. That kind has been broken down to liquid. It's
always liquid. I have it in spray and pump form. Both are messy but the
spray seems to make less mess.

I read that stuff too. I think I did have some in candy and it wasn't
memorable. Would not like it with any kind of meat and don't eat berried or
use coffee creamer. I don't chocolate sauce and I flat out did not like it
in place of nut butter. Must be an acquired taste. I like coconut and I
like coconut oil. Coconut oil isn't even bad on toast. But this was just
chalky.

Evidently not really though. Ground coconut doesn't taste like chalk.
Best you tossed it. You would have found out that you are intollerant
to it anyway.

Hey...you tried it...you didn't like it..you threw it out.
No need to discuss it, right?

So...you tried it and you hated it. You tossed it out. End of

Are you sure the massage oil isn't changed to prevent it going rancid?

According to what I read, it was pulverized pulp smoothed into a
smooth paste. Maybe the chalkier butters are made from pulp that
could benefit by adding a little coconut milk to it. I'd use it as an
ingredient in something, you decide what because your likes, wants and
needs change too many times in a day for anyone else to help you with
that.

Gary, you should know by now, it's not the end. This is just the
beginning of a stream of consciousness, mental parkour thread in which
Julie mind-maps the infinite, radical ways in which coconut butter
affected her childhood, marriage, career, car, pets, home, medical
history, and shopping adventures in Bothell.

Be patient, grasshopper. She hasn't even reached the chapter about
coconut-butter-related domestic disasters and hospitalisation.

Julie, Try organic as this one time it does make a difference. At
regular room temperatures it is semi-liquid, has no chaulk taste at
all, and only a lite coconut flavor.

It's the preferred oil for making home made popcorn. My elder dog gets
a little once a day and she's sharper minded for it. It's been studied
with some good results to aide in alzheimers patients.

You have some very ODD stores there then. That is a very abnormal use
for it.

Nope. Many references on the Internet.

It didn't taste like chalk. It tasted like coconut but the texture reminded
me of chalk.

But you make things with coconut in them. I generally don't. Also, my
likes do not change. I either like something or I don't.

It was organic. Artisana. And it was at room temp. I have a thermometer
in the kitchen. It has been around 70 in there. My coconut oil is soft.
Not liquid but soft. This stuff was hard as a rock.

No idea but she took it out of the fridge when I got there. She probably
goes through it too quickly to worry about it going rancid.

No need to look it up. I know what it is. But it doesn't apply to me.

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just

It's ok. I missed the title was the butter. I have no idea what to do
with that.
