Sorry, Sue, but I haven’t looked into this. One place to start might be in just asking a few coconut oil companies if they have any info on that.

I have been reading about the deforestation of rain forests to plant tropical trees; i.e. palm and coconut palms for oil production. Do you have any info on this and where i can find coconut oil that is derived from fairly managed plantations? Thanks!

Thanks for doing all the legwork to find the best deals, Kelly! My husband is in the military and I have been buying 14 oz jars of Spectrum virgin coconut oil on the base but want to start using more and have just ordered the Nutiva. Is Spectrum a good brand? I am also going to order the FCLO as soon as I get a friend to order a bottle so I can avoid the shipping costs. I feel the good health coming my way…

I use the wilderness family naturals palm oil when I make my crackers. It gives them a nice texture and pleasing golden color like Ritz crackers. Just use the Mary Enig soaked cracker recipe.

It has a strong flavor. Not as mild as coconut oil. I mainly use it for its nutritional value. Also because of its deep orange color, it add a nice twist to a few dishes that I make. You should give it a go once more.

I’ll bet theirs is great, since everything I’ve ever had from there is. I have no idea what brand I had that time!

I buy the Mountain Rose Herbs brand. I know its not the best tasting oil in the world. I take as a supplement more than I cook with it. It can be pretty tasty on serveral dishes.

As you know, I LOVE coconut oil, but I tried red palm oil once and I thought it was SO bad. It had a terrible taste and smell. The brand must make a huge difference.

LeVar, is there a particular brand of red palm oil you use? I have heard some about it but never tried it. How do you use it?

Hello Kelly. I know this may be off topic. But I was wondering if you ever would make a post about the health benefits of red palm oil? I use both coconut and palm oil on a daily basis. And my health has been amazing from using them both. Please let me know what you think about red palm oil.
