When desiring a larger sized convenience packet I've been buying these 1.o6 fl oz 258 cal each Artisana Coconut Oil Organic 100 % Virgin for about $1.60-1.80.

Blends nicely to Knorrs Thai Curry Rice & Pasta Side, bought 3 packages for $2(67 cts each), with a tablespoon of raw sesame seeds, bought in bulk at Whole Foods for about $3/lb, and extra dash of red curry powder. Could add some shredded dried coconut too. Easily makes a 800+ cal dinner under 6 Oz for about $3 or less(using the small Vita Coco Coconut Oil packet .

tell me again what's the purpose of this?..

Umm, this thread is in the Food Forum. Coconut oil is food and can be used for many other purposes. Umm, some hikers crave convenience and a different taste alternative. Some hikers seek additional alternative "good?" fats in their trail diets.

The purpose is about having options by considering this information and availability of a product.

Don't know if anyone here is into MCT oil, but this intrigues me:
Quest Nutrition MCT Powder Oil

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would be really easy to throw some in a ziplock and throw a scoop into your coffee, granola, dinner, etc.

OK, thanks. I carry olive oil but really doesn't make your oatmeal taste any better. I've never had Coconut oil but I can only guess it tastes a little lighter and sweeter...
