how does this compare to nutiva coconut manna? esp wondering about texture, consistency. thanks for the answers! I thought the smaller quantity aseptic(?) packaging is also a plus.

It's best to give it a try. The major difference, of course, is that coconut manna comes in a glass jar and Let's Do Organic in plastic pouches. However, I don't buy both anymore as it's not raw. I buy just organic extra virgin coconut oil again.

In my opinion it is very similar. I have not tried it side by side, but I do like both and do not notice a difference in buying one or the other. My advice is that if you like coconut manna, it is worth trying Let's Do Coconut brand. I have bought both, but find Let's Do Coconut to be more economical. I usually kneed to mix, then empty the Let's Do Coconut packet into a glass jar for storage.

I'm glad you asked me this question...last year I purchased several boxes of Lets Do organic Creamed Coconut... without exaggerating.... it was the most disgusting coconut product I've ever eaten...in fact, it was unedible....It tasted like "soap".......I wrote to the company about this product and never have I heard a word from them......I've not tried the coconut manna...however, at amazon do buy Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil...it is "fantastic"...I cook with it, eat it by the spoonfuls and also use it as a hair conditioner & body/face cream...I love Nutiva Products...

This is way better than canola and sunflower oil...a healthy fat with a higher smoke point. I know there is a site out there that lists the smoke point for different oils...coconut is good to higher temps than these oils you mention, and it gives a great flavor (not coconutty-but satisfying)

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

I use this product and am very happy with it. The best I have tried. I looked at their website and have see no reason to be wary of the product. I have tried other brands and taste and texture of the cacao was poor. Hope this helps.

Are you able to get this anywhere ? This is our favorite egg protein, but it has been unavailable for almost a year (thus I can't answer your question - but hope you can answer mine!). We've tried various other brands (used with oatmeal) and have large containers of the others that are just not used. We go through it quickly (when we have it) so no idea how long it lasts, though last time I was able to get it I ordered 3 of them and all were ok when we finished them.

From a purely subjective point of view (and a sample size of just 1), the Wedderspoon Gold had a more balanced/smoother taste to it. The medicinal taste common to the Manuka honeys (of all brands) seemed to be a bit muted in this version. I don't particularly mind the medicinal taste, so I'm on the fence on how much that is worth. That said, others in my house hate that medicinal taste and appreciate the softer tasting Gold version. Hard to say if the 1 jar my answer is based on is representative of all the Gold batches though. My 2 cents, if you want quality Manuka honey with a softer taste... it is worth it. If not, save your money and purchase one of the other raw Manuka offerings.

Are you disappointed that they're not part of the Non-GMO project or because you're concerned that the coconut can be GMO? It's always been my understanding that if an item is Fully Organic, it can't be or contain GMO's. So while this product isn't labeled as Non-GMO, the fact that it's simply coconut and not a "processed food" that would possibly contain Non-GMO items, I feel it's a pretty safe bet that it's Non-GMO.

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

It seems Nutiva no longer offers a "raw" option, however it is "unrefined, cold-pressed, virgin" very similar, here is a link to the unavailable Nutiva raw http://amzn.com/B003J4R9DK

I do not find it to spread very well. I scrape out a couple teaspoons of the raw coconut and sprinkle over my bowl of fruit every morning. I love the taste and it is good for you too. I would think it would be good with oatmeal or an unsweetened cold cereal.

I had the exact same concern because the labeling says it's the same product. I did some research and was surprised by what I learned. According to what I read, it's only olive oil that is genuinely graded between virgin and extra virgin and apparently regarding organic coconut oil, there is no distinction whatever--only one kind! I was quite surprised but it does taste exactly the same as the old product which I have been using for about 7 years.

I emailed Nutiva directly. Here is their response: "We are now labeling all of our coconut oil as virgin coconut oil. It is still the same high quality, organic coconut oil that we have always sold. Some countries, like Canada, do not allow the use of the term extra virgin to describe coconut oil. As we expand into other markets around the world it was thought best to use the term virgin coconut oil across our entire line instead of using different terms for the exact same product in different countries. We haven't changed the quality of our coconut oil, only our label. There is no difference between virgin and extra virgin coconut oil. They are both marketing terms with no definition in law or regulations. Unlike olive oil which has multiple pressings, organic coconut oil has just one pressing. Our coconut oil is the same product as before, but we are using a different marketing term on the label." It would be nice if the sellers of this product would let consumers know about this, as Nutiva says they've asked all of their retailers to inform their customers. This knowledge would have saved me much time and hassle.

Hi Dr. Rusty. Honestly i did not notice a difference between this and a previous brand's "regular" flavour seaweed snack. The next time i try these i will try to pay more attention to the flavour. Please don't hold your breath however, as i will likely try a different brand next time. (Only because i've tried just one other brand so far -- with a "regular" or "plain" flavor, IIRC -- the two different brands tasted exactly the same to me, though i admittedly did not do a proper side-by-side taste test with both products present at the same time.)

Sorry Shopper, I don't know. I have tried Tropical TRADitions , nutiva, artisana, and some Walmart stuff. Nutiva and Artisana have tasted best so far, next I will try Tropics Best. it sounds really good, just less known. Artisana is super smoothe but expensive

Everyone's taste varies. I would try it in a small amount to find the right density & consistency to make the tortilla. Frying Almond flour will probably cook faster, so beware you don't burn the tortilla or the oil you will be using. We use Pure Coconut Oil & Pure Olive Oil but since you can not tolerate Coconut, what about peanut oil? For me I like to experiment. If you have the time and like doing that, then experiment. Yes please let us know, what you did and how it turned out! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Master Supplements has been GREAT, I have ordered from them many times from Amazon. I have ordered Probiotics online for years, many come completely un-insulated. It arrives well wrapped/insulated in bubble wrap. I have found this to be more than adequate. It may appear a bit more expensive, however.... There are other less expensive suppliers, even with more elaborate insulation, but I don't want my package in transit for MANY days longer. With those less expensive suppliers, you can pay for faster shipping, but then you're back up to 'expensive'... I go with Amazon/Master Supplements and be done with it!
