I buy coconut oil at my local Whole Foods Market. (This grocery store chain is affectionately known as "Whole Paycheck" by some ...)
On the back of the jar of Organic, Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil, it says, "Our organic coconut oil is refined so it can withstand medium heat cooking temperatures, up to 375 degrees Farenheit."
They also sell _unrefined_, _virgin_, organic, expeller pressed coconut oil, and on the back of that jar, it says, "Our organic virgin coconut oile is expeller pressed and unrefined to withstand medium heat up to 360 degrees Farenheit."
The cost is about the same, with the unrefined, virgin stuff costing maybe 50 cent a jar more.
Can anyone shed any light on the difference between these two things? I don't really notice much, if any, difference between them.
Thanks.
