Christal,
The first few times I fried with the coconut oil, I thought I could taste it slightly, but I never notice it anymore. I can sure smell it when it's cooking tho. I dont notice it at all in baked things.
Spectrum should be ok to use for frying. The really raw, less heated during the processing coconut oil has probiotics, and to get the benefits from it, I eat that as is. Once heated to a high temp, you lose the probiotics benefits but you still get some of the other benefits.
Straight from the jar, I think its nasty. I pour some over low carb muffins and top with SCD yogurt, and I dont taste it at all. I put some in my coffee, and slurp it off the top. That kills the taste a bit for me.
Back in the day before the big companies switched to rapeseed and vegtable oils, coconut oil was in all the processed foods...Depending on your age, you may recall things tasting a bit better with the coconut oil! "*contains tropical oils" used to be a warning! (sheesh!)
