Coconut Oil
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

Is Coconut Oil considered a raw food? What about organic Virgin Coconut Oil and now here's the kicker - what can be used in place of Coconut Oil in a dessert recipe?

I have a feeling i'm heading off the raw track but I am new at this.

Thanks.

okay i found this on another site:

the virgin coconut butter from Garden of Life as it is produced without chemicals or heat....in effect it is a raw food. It still has the coconuty taste........

I can not get coconut oil where I live so would have to order online somewhere.

Still trying to figure out what is the best thing to replace it with until I can get some?

Any suggestions?

For substitutions, I think that it depends on the recipe and what flavors would suit it well. Do you have access to any raw nut oils? As a fallback, a good cold-pressed olive oil goes with just about anything.

No the nearest health food store is a little over an hour away but I did find the website www.livingtreecommunity.com where i can purchase online the things i need and keep them in stock.

i was actually making a non-raw food item to take to a friend's dinner party - vegan cupcakes. i am trying a raw vegan cheesecake next time. (this wednesday)

thank you!
