How to Make Virgin Coconut Oil

[@SistaWithRealHair]

This was awesome to watch! I'm currently ingesting 2 tablespoons a day for my eczema and it WORKS! - Thanks so much or sharing!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Ange, It solidifies in the cold, so even overnight at my home with the thermostat set at 75 degree F it got a little bit harder, then during the day as the sun came out it was liquid again. During the Summer of course it is always in it's liquid state. We store either in a plastic or glass bottle or jar and it can last upwards of a year.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Thanks sweetie, you rock...you see how these people attack because they think they know something about making coconut oil. I'll stick with the experts like my dad, Joe and you. xoxoxo

[@MyJubilation]

The brown cream is the tastiest part!!! My grandmother used to season it and cook it down with salted cod fish...I loved it!!!!! :)

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Cold compressed oil is heated not once but 3 times during the process. Once when it's in the shell to get to the copra then 2x as the oil travels through the filters. I stand my ground because my dad investigated this and is adamant of how the process works as he took tours of the factories to learn the process and decided that this way (the way his mother taught him) and the way she did it all their lives is the purest way.

[@joyram4813]

Thank you for making this video. My grandparents are from the Philippines and they know how to make everything from scratch, ex. Everything about the coconut and sea salt. I've always been interested on how they did those things and now I know. Thnks again. God Bless.

[@virginiaomalley]

Yes, this is the best video for making your own coconut oil, that I've seen. Good idea to do 5 coconuts at a time. My only problem is that our coconut trees are so tall that I can't get to them until they fall off the tree. Even if I could reach them, it is hard to tell when they are ripe enough to eat/harvest.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

cjezzi2...Cold press coconut oil does use heat. They heat the coconut in the shell before even opening the coconut.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Glad to have you on board Wallylex.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

You guys crack me up. Such coconut oil experts, but really don't have any idea of how the COLD PRESS process really works. Oh there is heat involved in that process...even more than what we did on the stove.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

This batch I made never developed that rancid smell. I think when it sits too long it smells like that. I'm with you and will make it from scratch when I run out.

[@MaYo00127]

My grandma brought some coconut oil from Belize and I was wondering why it taste like it was left over oil that was used already compared to the store bought coconut oil and now I know why. Learn something new everyday! Now im going to try and make my own when the bottle I have run out.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Roni the milk video is just before the one with the coconut oil. Yes we set milk overnight we covered it because we didn't want anything to crawl in it. We have an ant problem. The heat went from high to medium.

[@Unforgettable0219]

I am a from the Philippines, we do that, too, and I cook a lot using coconut milk. What we do with that white thing when browned is add brown sugar to it and top it to rice cakes and other native desserts.

[@lillianmorgancbc]

I love this recipe the best explained one. I now am addicted to this oil.I use it in all skin care and for my hair even make-up removal, I even eat 2 teaspoons a day. People are commenting on my glowing skin. Some times i will use the cream for my curries. Blessed be The single mom also known as Moon Spirit...

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Robert..not a dumb question at all. Joe says the water is not good for anything and it's not the same water as what you would find in the coconut.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

I normally don't respond to them, but sometimes like everyone else when I'm having a bad day they will get under my skin. I block them because in KZbin the view alone doesn't count and 10 to 1 those haters know that. It got to a point where I stopped reading comments on this video for a while. People like you make it worthwhile though.

[@godisloveandjoyjesusismysa7439]

Hello the one thing I love about you is that you don't denied Jesus Christ and like me, we both adore Jesus Christ and always put him first. Amen to that and may the Lord bless you for helping people out. One question I would like to know, after you do the oil and the milk, do you leave it out or put it in the fridge until you're all done with the product? Thank you for your time and don't listen to negative comments, just keep doing what you're doing because unlike me I enjoy watching you and appreciate your teaching.

[@Jamaicacruz94]

Maya? idk how to spell it. In the philippines we use that from toppings on sweet rice cakes "bico" "kakanin" that is why nothing is wasted in coconuts. even the shell is used

[@sunitarao9325]

I've been using this on my hair as a mask and it has made my hair look and feel great. I suffer from dry scalp and after I dry my hair, I always get peeling skin right at my hairline, at the top of my forehead. It's so incredibly annoying. I dab just a little bit of Merit VCO virgin coconut oil on the flaky spots and they behave all day. I am going to give some of this to my sister to use on my niece's eczema since I have heard it works wonders there too. Just for fun I rubbed this on my arms and elbows and it worked as a great moisturizer with a little sheen, I can see myself using this on my legs during the summer!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Rashi..so glad you tried it and it came out great for you,

[@ryuukat8963]

Here in Colombia the brown thingy is called "titote" and it's used to make one of the most delicious rices I've ever tasted :)... I've also seen it used to make sauces for fish and chicken. Delicious. Thanks for the video!.

[@tinwhistlelover101]

Thank you right now I'm just doing the melt and pour soap. But I'm collecting all the supplies needed for organic herbal soaps. Also I'm doing a lot of research before I actually make the soaps. Safety comes frist, since I will be working with lye. By August or sooner I hope to make my frist batch of soap. Have a blessed day God bless you and your family.

[@HomeGardenandFaashion]

Hi Namaste, I am glad I found your channel. Your videos are very informative. Thank you so much for making videos like this. I subscribed for your channel. Please keep up the great work. After you pick up the cream you do not need to throw the water use it on your hair, if you use it for a long time you can stop hair fall and keep hair black for many years. Have very happy and blessed day!

[@echantra9937]

This footage is golden!! Thank you so much for uploading this! The last batch of coconut oil I brought had a tinge of fabric softner to it and actually put me off purchasing my precious coconut oil for months. From now on I am going to use your technique to make my own coconut oil. No part of it will go to waste!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Very cool..This one still smells good. I have a little bit left.

[@beverleyhunter7788]

Thanks for sharing. I've seen my mum do this in Jamaica and wanted to learn for myself. Good learning from another island perspective. Thanks again

[@dingdongplatypus]

This is a fantastic tutorial! Very easy to understand, and pleasant to listen to such a kind voice. I like that you showed the entire process. Thanks for posting!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Thanks you so much Gwen for the awesome suggestions for the maya. Will be sure to try this next time.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

mancunianinlondon. You need my dad to school you in what cold press really is and why this is the only healthy way to make coconut oil. He is knowledgeable in everything there is to know about making coconut oil. He even paid for his own independent study at the behest of the American government to prove that it has no bad cholesterol. I'll have to make a video with him teaching about the 2 processes and post it. He was just here Sunday teaching me and I kept thinking I should have taken notes.

[@autumnjasmyn6104]

It is nice to make your own coconut products from scratch because of the high cost of buying them and your fresh coconut products don't contain any chemicals or preservatives in it. It is fresh and inexpensive.

[@FiR3F3ti5H89]

I don't mind your talking. Makes me feel like I'm in the kitchen with a friend. Thank you and Joe for this video.

[@MDonawa]

Love this video & just subscribe, when I was younger living in Trinidad, the women in my family use to make coconut oil to put on their skin and on their scalp, so I now understand why we had long, strong hair. I never new how they made it, and I'm glade I just saw your videos. They use to put a little brown sugar in the brown flakes for us to eat. They also use the milk and some of the white flakes to make bread and bake, it was so good, now I know how it's done, I can make coconut bake/bread and the oil from scratch. Thank you!

[@modernhomemakers]

That sounds so much nicer than diaper creams! I'm going to try that next time one of mine gets a rash. Thanks for sharing.

[@leticiagarcia2159]

After I make my coconut oil and while is still hot I measure to 3 ounces and add about a tablespoon of ground rosemary that I dry outside for about a week in the sun and pulverize after, I mixed them in a small glass container and after a week the oil starts turning green like olive oil, I shake the bottle once a day, so the oil mix well with the ground rosemary then after a week I start using the oil on my skin or my scalp and it works wonderful, and also has a lovely smell.

[@spudspinnigan9677]

Where in BZ are you from, Joe? The coconut trees I planted at my place in Seine Bight Village, to replace the local coconuts that were being destroyed by bugs and blight, are now producing fruit. I plan to make oil from my coconuts, but I won't be using heat. The point of not using heat is that you don't damage all of the healthful properties of the coconut, which are destroyed by heat. The oil you make is great for frying a big yellow (or red, or black) snapper, but you have taken out lots of the great essential nutrients in the process. Unheated coconut oil helps balance the bugs in your gut, killing yeast that tends to get out of hand if you eat too much processed food. BTW, I think it is great that you are teaching your kids about BZ food skills. They might think it smells gross now, but they will be thanking you in a few years.

[@raulnyack4121]

hi I just want to say thank you for this video it's the first time I have seen coconut oil made .well done

[@TheBelizeanborn]

I remember this back in Belize. My cousin's grandmother made coconut oil for a living in Belize & when we visited there you could smell the coconut oil cooking all the time. She made hers in a big vat over a fire heart. So I know that smell was all over the house & probably driving your kids crazy =)

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Due to the fact that my dad had to jump through hoops for the American government when he first started to produce his coconut oil and sell it here, he got a tour of the cold press factories. They use intense heat several times in the process including when the oil passes though the tubes on the final end of the packaging process to be filled into the bottles.

[@bigbangshangover]

Tomorrow morning I will be making my own coconut oil ! Ive let min coconut milk set and it's getting thicker ! I can't wait to make to oil tmrw thank u so much for this video !

[@seysisland]

I'd love to see that video! I was also led to believe that cold-pressed is better because heating the oil kills all its enzymes.

[@amayaerin]

Nice video! Thanks to you, my sister can now finish her project about virgin coconut oil. Hers always appears to be white. We didn't know you should cook it until brown and the oil should be yellow colored. :)

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Mancunianinlondong..So if you are thinking "Cold Press" means no heat involved then you are wrong. They heat the coconut in the shell to a very high temp before the even take the meat out to chop it up.

[@tinwhistlelover101]

After watching you and Joe make raw coconut oil. I decided to give it a try and I used my Kitchen Aid Food Processor to grate the meat. It made that part of the process go super fast, then I added water and it made my coconut milk super fast as well. I'm using my oil in soap making. Thank you so much for sharing video with the rest of us. Thank you Joe. :D :D TA TA

[@troccadero1]

Thank You, will now go and make it just like yours! I love coconut oil, 1 spoon in the morning and 1 at night. No more arthritis, (and many other ailments, no longer) Bless You, ( where I live I can not get, but now I can make)

[@s4ccharine]

whether this is EVO or just VO, I'm just really glad that you showed me how to make Coconut Oil without having to go to the store and buying expensive ones. All I really have to pay for is the coconut itself. =D At least now when I use a coconut product, I know exactly how it's made!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

I see I'll have to go to the expert, my dad and record him teaching us about the Cold Press process vs this process. He had to put his coconut oil which is made exactly the way I did it, in a lab and do many tests on it to answer to the American Gov't to prove all the stuff you guys are arguing about. This is why I stand firmly behind the process I used.

[@morethanaconqueror3977]

very nice guys thanks so much for this one i use virgin coconut oil on my natural hair so if we cant buy it for any reason i can make it i love this show so helpful!

[@sheikhabrahim3463]

Hi its nice to see you make coconut oil in USA.Thats basically how we do it here in Guyana too.Good luck to all your future shows and in the sales of your book.I admire your humility.I dont know if you already knew about making 'cook-up rice'.This is a delicacy here.And coconut milk is the key to its mouth watering taste.If you need the recipe I'm willing to share.Cheers from Guyana.

[@SonShineShon]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING EACH STEP & EXPLAINING WHY EACH STEP IS DONE! I use coconut oil for everything, popcorn, hair, skin & cold & cough syrup with lemon & pure honey! Now I see why it costs so much, because it takes a lot to make! Trader Joe's does a cold press method without additives & preservatives! It's great! I JUST SUBSCRIBED! GONNA WATCH EPISODE 1! I LIKE THE NAME OF YOUR SHOW! :-) GREAT JOB!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Please research Cold Press before you comment. That uses extreme heat. This is the purest way to make coconut oil.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Joe is my husband. He guests every now and then. My 17 year old daughter guests now and then too.

[@Eatdrinkcoconut001]

Does the heating process affect any nutritional content in the oil as opposed to centrifrugal means.

[@thadmangulabnan4327]

in the Philippines , the Maya is used on top of Filipino famous sticky rice food they add brown or white sugar for sweetness... and its really delicious.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Cold press uses heat also and to a higher degree than this.

[@tinushja8621]

this looks amazing, i just ordered 500ml virgin coconut oil and it was so expensive because i live in norway i cant buy here in grocery stores i ordered it online, i think i will try this method , hope it will turn out great , is the smell good as coconut? i love coconut smell but i am not sure how the smell is to make it yourself, good job and good luck

[@lingalilley7825]

I've enjoyed your videos. Hope you do teach us how to make the candies etc. out of the skins. Thanks.

[@shneeeshnaaa4778]

Isnt virgin coconut oil made without heat?

[@inzpirat3029]

I enjoyed your video so much , and it is very well explained, also it's so cool that you had joe as a special guest! he obviously knows what he is doing because it's part of his culture! I'm so exited to make my own coconut oil !

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Doris, I need more like you. Welcome it's nice to have you.

[@Forboding90]

In the Philippines we call that 'latik', we sprinkle these on top of desserts or on salads.

[@ebby6285]

can u use the cream that u skimmed off the top for skin and hair as well ? and are there any uses for the water that is left behind ...... and ur vids are so informative thank you so much for taking the time to share

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Are you for real? What you saw that shows my love of Jesus is my book. I really didn't create if for Non-Christians. I decided a long time ago that my God would be a part of anything that I do and if that chases off non believers then OH WELL...

[@rashiraj11]

this recipe is really awesome.......I just tried it and the result is excellent......apart from the pure oil my home had a very good coconutty fragrance all day long.........thanks for sharing this video :)

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Garnaches is already at my site Ange. I made the sauce separately first then the next video was the actual garnaches. Joe is using this batch of coconut on his face at night before he showers.

[@mzc079]

We call those brown stuffs "latik" and often used as garnishing with some filipino delicacies like maja blanca, sapin sapin etc..

[@AussieAngeS]

Wow how awesome guys! That's fantastic. I have 2 questions for you. One, does it solidify in the cold weather or once it cools, and two, does it go bad after a while? How do you guys store it?

[@robertreddy4481]

Hi great video. Is the "water" under the cream the same as water you get when you crack the coconut... still drinkable? (Sorry you if it seems like a dumb question, you nor Joe mentioned anything about what can be done with it after the cream is removed. Thanks and bless you!

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Patricia....Let me know if you make it okay.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

It is so good for you. It did wonders for Jada's eczema. Love your AKA..moon spirit. :)

[@naturalbeauty1968A]

Just to add for others who wish to try, when you put it on fire you can add your favorite flower and cook it together to get the best scent you want. The other way of doing it is soak the cream overnite with the flowers then cook it on the stove the very next day. This is only if you want oil with scent.

[@IcedCupcakes]

my grandma used to make this to fry chicken. and this was the way she did it. thanks!

[@Carlosrrveras]

Thanks for the information, I like it very much, I wish I had a way of making it cold, but I don't so I'll use this method for now, I tried it and is great, unlike other oils, coconut oil and nut oils do not oxidize when expose to temperature (peanut is not a nut) even olive oil witch is great when virgin gets bad when heated because it is hi in monounsaturated fat and oxides when heated, coconut on the other hand is full of Fatty acid and Lauric acid which are the essential fatty acids, they do not oxide when brought to hi temperatures. So even if we do it this way, we are fine, but is not virgin once you heat it, just let Joe know that. :-)

[@christal2053]

I watched the video and it's very informative . But is there a video before this step in the process ?

[@keokethomas8493]

Actually as the name suggests, Cold Press method does not involve high temperature heats at all. It utilises the fermentation method and as Jelena Miokovic enquired, yes it is better for you as it doesn't get cooked but is created in a raw state. The cooked method as you have shown is still an acceptable method however the Cold Press Fermentation method, which can be done at home very simply is still the better method.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi Roni, Joe says you don't have to cover it.

[@hearfan]

Looks like fun to make and you don't have to pay for expensive extra virgin coconut oil at the store. Do you have to leave the milk over night or can you go ahead and boil it right away? and also did you leave it out or was it in the fridge.

[@FiR3F3ti5H89]

No problem. I have a quick question. I would like to use this coconut oil for my hair and skin. Where do I store and at what temp please? How long before it goes bad?

[@zammyjoan]

you could eat that "maya" as you called it together with delicacy or sticky rice..here in the philippines it's popular

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Thanks so much for subscribing

[@joLieSc0rpYeUx]

this is soooo freaking awesome!! can't wait to try it!...do you guys know how to make Coco De Nata?

[@kevinfiorini989]

thanks for the info, very useful, but what do you do with the liquid that is left please? is that the milk ?

[@AussieAngeS]

ok cool Barbara. I love using coconut oil for cooking it has so many benefits, plus it smells sooo good LOL Joe did a great job at separating all the coconuts and making that coconut milk :) I came across a website with some traditional Belize food and there was something called Garnaches, flat fried corn circles with beans, cheese and onions. Do you make these?

[@siawilliams5200]

Hello! I love watching various 'old' ways in making things. You say this is the "Cold Press Process". What temperature are you cooking at? I would need to know this, before I agree it is "Cold". If you are cooking at 120 degrees F or less then yes it would be considered "Cold Processed". higher than 120 degrees F would not be considered "Cold Processed". Although it would still be good for bath and body products. Anything other than the" Chemical Extraction" method is good to use. Thank you.

[@sweetchem]

hey ma, This is natural....the most natural you can get.VIRGIN should be in caps because once it is bottled and packaged most of the times a bit of an extra something goes into it to prolong its shelf life... here in the caribbean most of us use this general technique..it smell awesome! alot of health benefits....yea girl ur popz got the good stuff

[@yesseniahernandez6975]

Did you leave the coconut milk extract out on the stove overnight or did you put it in the fridge? Does the temperature make a difference?

[@TheBarePantryShow]

bjoyce that is so cool, I would love if you'd share one of your soap recipes with me. Imagine how awesome that would smell.

[@gwenguilbe1483]

hi first time watching. The maya you can use it as a toping but you have to make it sweet or mixed it to do a batter for shrimp is very good. I have try it, but not as burn as you guys did, and the maya i used for my homemade yogurt or homemade coconut yogurt. I like your show keep it up...thumps up

[@filleliz27]

How long does this oil last? How should it be stored once done? Thanks for teaching us this process.

[@melmel8080]

Great video! Two questions. Will the milk get rancid from keeping it overnight? Also, I have the real old time belizean grater but im scared to use it because I don't want to grate my fingers in the process, so.. will using a juicer or a food processor create as much cream as grating it? Thanks

[@TheBarePantryShow]

melmel8080 Joe will do a new video for his channel which will go up next week and he will try it in the Blendtec blender. I'll try to come update you. His channel is kzbin.info

[@arlynlarsson5544]

Hi I wonder how to add some herbs for soothing body massage

[@sabrinaharvey4940]

Can i put it in my hair?

[@mayumitakahashi3865]

Maya's is truly delicious and nutritious too. Its uses in some filipino cuisine delicasies

[@MsEmpress31]

want to try this but i need to know if it would solidify when i'm done or do i have to keep it in the fridge to get that solid texture as the store bought ones

[@TheBelizeanborn]

Okay, now I'm ready for all things coconut: the tableta, cut-a-brute & coconut crush. I know the coconut oil will get hard if it is refrigerated which is what my mother does to keep it for a very long time. She would use a spoon to scoop out how much she wanted for the dish she was making like boil up. How do you keep yours?

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Jada uses it on her hair too..Joe uses on his face.

[@goingnatural5017]

is there a way to get the oil w/o the cooking process ... and what if any do u use the left over coconut pulp.,.?

[@bluivy1]

Just watched in amazement! Just subscribed and I'm now a devote follower.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

thanks for the back up cindyandreina

[@jebnajerp2673]

Coconut oil is very good also for diaper rash. I used it to my kids and now to my grandson.
