Amanprana extra virgin brand has little coconut taste when used for cooking. Are you sure you’ve been using the extra virgin? Because it’s the stuff that needs to be kept in the fridge that has the most overpowering flavour.

Regarding the coconut oil

I use it in my post workout protein shakes, but I find the ‘coconutty’ flavor a little too much in my stir frys.

It overpowers most of the other ingredients.

This is due to the fact that I always buy the organic, unrefined product.

Am I to assume that the refined stuff has lost some of the natural flavor.

If so, do you have any idea of the refining procedure. I prefer to stay away from the refined olive oils as they use hexane, caustic soda, and naphthaleneacetic acid in the refining process.

If you have a preferred refined coconut oil, could you post a link to their site?

Loved the first comment - rhubarb in a stir fry - Blech!

I was just recently thinking that I must learn to make different stir fries as I always end up making the same one. This has given me lots of ideas! Thanks!

Okay. Last comment. You should highlight that light olive oil is very processed. I noticed on your other chart, you mention the higher smoke point oils are processed, with the exception of the extra light olive oil. That’s slightly misleading.

Oh, and stock up on ginger. That stuff is like crack when it’s in a stirfry.
