I WANT A HEALTHY POPPING OIL? COCONUT OR OLIVE?

Canola Oil is the recommended popping oil by the American Heart Association. Google Healthy Cooking Oils and the link should be the first or second to pop up. Olive oil has a flavor on popcorn that I just don't like.

I have used olive oil and the popcorn tasted fine. I never used coconut oil. In my opinion, to answer your question - I'd choose olive oil as being the healthiest. I hope that helps!

I bought the one recommended on line, but you can use vegetable oil if you prefer to do that.

(By the way this oil is not crap, it is not virgin or extra virgin so it will not smell or taste coconuty) There are two kinds of 100% coconut oil from snappy (well 3 including the organic) one is colored orange- yellow to look like butter. I believe they use anatto seed. I have purchased the white oil in the gallon multiple times and it looks white to me.

Yes it is, but you might want to use the kind that doesn't have beta carotene in it because the beta carotene will add a golden hue to whatever you cook. Try Snappy Popcorn 1 Gallon White Coconut Oil, it costs about the same and only contains coconut oil. Don't worry about storage, it doesn't need refrigeration and is all natural.

Yes, I used equal parts oil and sugar. I bought flavored popping oil at my local supermarket and just regular sugar. Just about any oil will work besides olive oil ,that will give it a funny flavor.

I think coconut butter is more oily as the Raw coconut is more like ground coconut and is so good you can eat it from a spoon.

I use coconut, olive oil and almond oil depending on what I'm using it for. You can use some of the oils in eye cream. You need to know which ones first....don't make the mistake of using a Hot EO. Also, if you're using a Hot EO on your face, be sure to use enough oil with it (ie. Coconut, olive, etc.)

Plain coconut oil will pop the same. The coloring just makes it look like movie theater popcorn. It works great and if you get some Flavacol salt and flavoring it makes it real close. Easy on the Flavacol though.

I think every olive oil has its own taste and it depends on what you like. People will say Spanish is the best or Italian is the best. I have tried lots of different kinds of oil but I personally like the taste of this one. That's not to say you will like it simply because it is Greek.

Yes, and don't forget you can pop your popcorn in this oil, as the old-time movie theaters did! Coconut oil prevents popcorn from going rancid, so pop extra for during the week for a quick & healthy snack! :)

I like Peanut oil it is the best, but any cooking oil will work. We also use popcorn butter seasoning salt.

Hello. I use regular popcorn and oil. I buy the $2.00 bag from Walmart and I use canola oil but anything is fine. I use real butter in my kettle also with the oil. I hope this helps you out.

I'm getting ready to order the avocado oil to alternate with NOW jojoba oil... LOVE the jojoba! Almond oil seems lighter to me and does not penetrate and moisturize for an extended period of time. I think trying avocado and jojoba will allow you to determine which works best for what... Enjoy!!

The back of the packet states it can be used in an air popper by adding the popcorn only. You would not be using the coconut oil.

You can use any kind that you want but I would suggest you use coconut oil for your popping oil. It gives the corn a better taste remember a little goes a long way also a little bit of popcorn goes a long way. 1 cup will treat 2 people with no problem.

You can use any oil for oil pulling but I prefer coconut oil because it has many health benefits.
