So I think that there is little possibility of rancidity caused by heat. Some people think though that exposure to high heat (higher than that caused our cooking) will cause coconut oil to lose some of its nutritional value. <br /><br />iherb.com shipping - Apologies for not being clear. It is US$4 for International Airmail shipping to Singapore for orders totalling at least US$40. Otherwise it is about US$6+. Sometimes iherb.com offers free international shipping, or a discount on its products. If you are a first-time customer, using the coupon code XOJ002 will get you US$5 off your first order and offset your shipping costs.<br /><br />Yup, iherb's shipping rates are really good and I know a bunch of Singaporeans who keep ordering from them because buying even something small from anywhere else would cost like US$40+ in shipping!Wild Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095417693580246116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686122862393462743.post-64623064223792336422012-05-14T23:07:57.658+08:002012-05-14T23:07:57.658+08:00Yes, very much.

Yes, u're right! I never noticed that. I kept seeing words like "virgin", and "organic" in the search result products, but yes, no mention of how they're extracted... One question, though. Does it matter if heat is applied during the process of extraction? I thought one of the advantages of coconut oil is that it's heat-stable. Of course, cold-pressed is like a guarantee, but I'm just wondering.<br /><br />2. Is it really US$4 for shipping? If so, I would really consider. I've bought things from the US before, and I haven't seen US$4 shipping before!<br /><br />3.

I don't know what else "WC...Np :) Uhhh.... I don't know what else "WC" could stand for :)<br /><br />Nature's Glory - Have seen this brand in the supermarket. I have a packet of their toasted nori flakes, which I sometimes sprinkle over my food, and once tried making soup with their wakame. Your question made me think hard and as I haven't had fantastic or horrible experiences with the brand, and have not heard anything good or bad about the brand, I don't really have any opinion on them...<br /><br />I guess the points you can consider are as follows:<br /><br />(1) Process - Nature's Glory's website says little to nothing about how its coconut oil is extracted, refined or processed. <br /><br />In comparison, Jarrow says that its neutral tasting organic coconut oil "is expeller-pressed from the dried flesh (copra) of the coconut palm fruit, and does not utilize any solvents in the manufacturing process". Its extra virgin coconut oil "is unrefined and expeller-pressed in a controlled, indoor environment. This specific process does not utilize any solvents and preserves the volatile compounds responsible for imparting the rich, familiar flavor of coconuts."<br /><br />I do not usually believe whatever manufacturers claim on their products, but lots of friends in the US, in the nutrition and fitness industries, have a high regard for Jarrow.<br /><br />(2) Price - Nature's Glory's "neutral flavoured" ccoconut oil is selling for S$24 per litre (roughly 920g?). <br /><br />In comparison, Jarrow's expeller pressed coconut oil sells for USD$8.37 / 454g at iherb.com. That works out to about S$21.43 / 908g, not including shipping (which might be free, or just US$4). <br /><br />(3) Freshness - An overwhelming majority of Singaporeans are still riding on the low fat wave, and believe that saturated fats are evil. Therefore whatever stocks of coconut oil there are in Singapore - I do not think they move very fast. <br /><br />In comparison, an increasing number of Americans are turning to low carb, and the Paleo community in the US is already massive. Coconut oil flies off the shelves quite fast, so you can be assured that as long as you are buying from a reputable retailer, the product you get should be relatively fresh.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Wild Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095417693580246116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686122862393462743.post-41571948951388380092012-05-13T23:28:53.738+08:002012-05-13T23:28:53.738+08:00Thanks for replying, WC! :P (yes, I know that acro...Thanks for replying, WC! :P (yes, I know that acronym is uh... But I trust you have some humour! :)<br /><br />I have no idea about the price (still waiting for them to reply!), but I've since located something else as well. Check out "Nature's Glory" at http://www.natures-glory.com/. They're local (yes, I know), but they carry stuff from overseas as well... Have you heard of them, or have any opinion about them?

No I haven't - am usually wary of unheard of brands and prefer to stick with the well-known ones (like Jarrow), plus to buy the well-known ones from popular stores like iherb.com because of the high turnover, which results in you receiving quite a fresh product.<br /><br />Additionally, do you know how much it costs? They might be a different case, but from experience, health food in Singapore is usually sold at around double the price you can obtain the same from the US.Wild Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095417693580246116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686122862393462743.post-56950016231823264162012-05-12T19:07:16.182+08:002012-05-12T19:07:16.182+08:00have you tried cocos.com.sg?
