I have a jar of coconut butter but I don't know what to do with it. Can anyone give me some suggestions or recipes for using it?

Thanks

Is coconut butter the same thing as "coconut oil"?

Yes, it's the exact same thing. If you do a search on Bruce Fife, you'll find the ultimate book with everything you've ever wanted to know about coconut oil.

Coconut butter works amazingly as a skin moisturizer/revitalizer, and it can also be used as an impressive shaving "cream." In food, it is really useful when a creamy, lush consistency is required. The book, _Raw_Food_Real_World:__100_Recipes_to_get_the_Glow_ (Matthew Kenney & Melngailis), has many recipes using coconut butter.

By-the-bye, _Raw_Food_Real_World_ is an excellent book of gourmet-style/restaurant-class recipes, however, IMO, alot of the dishes are a bit too complicated and time-intensive for most busy people; there are many, many coconut and dehydrator combos. I use the recipes when I am entertaining or trying-to-impress.

I add coconut butter to fruit smoothies and it gives a nice flavor, especially with pineapple.

I use coconut oil external all over my body. it seems to do wonders for my skin. It is also a great natural lubricant for women during sex.

I use it for the cooked foods I make for my kids in place of other types of oil. I also use it some blended raw foods.

If you do bread.. it will be completely amazing on that. Or with some sweet pita chips as a dip, like the Brown Sugar kind @ whole foods... ummmm.. If you like the taste of it mix and match it with other foods you like and you will probably be going to the store for more before ya know it!

Antony,

You didn't offend anyone here. Many folks that come here are in various stages of rawness. Take it slow. Try some coconut butter on your pita chips.
