Product Review: Ziggy Marley Organics Coco’Mon https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-ziggy-marley-organics/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-ziggy-marley-organics/#respond Tue, 07 Oct 2014 09:30:04 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=8155 Parent Picked Kid Approved logo

It’s finally fall, and that means it’s time to embrace the cool weather and warm flavors! The sun may not be shining as bright these days, but Ziggy Marley Organics Coco’Mon, the world’s first line of flavored organic coconut oils, tastes just like sunshine in a jar! Harnessing all the healthy benefits of coconut oils – including lowering bad cholesterol levels – these go one step further and add an extra zing of flavor to any meal. If you close your eyes, you might even hear the palm trees swaying as you enjoy each delicious bite.

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

These are so yummy! Mom let’s me help measure the coconut oil, while she gets ready to cook! They all smell and taste so good!
 

From the Eyes of a Parent:Ziggy Marley's Coco'Mon Organic Coconut Oil 7-Oct-14

Coconut oils have a much larger presence in the market of late, and not surprisingly. The health benefits and high-smoke point make them ideal for cooking. The Ziggy Marley oils go great on everything from chicken to fish to vegetables. They’re an easy, convenient, and healthy way to add flavor to any meal. My little ones love the orange-almond on their salmon so much that now they ask for the dish for dinner! All I do is add the flavored oil on top of the salmon and toss it in the oven to bake! The flavors are subtle and not overpowering, making it a great addition to our dinnertime favorites without overwhelming the pickier eaters in the house.

Flavorful Features:

Ziggy Marley Organics Coco’Mon comes in four delicious flavors:

  • Original
  • Orange-almond
  • Lemon ginger
  • Curry

 

The Icing on the Cake:ZiggyM_Organics

The flavored coconut oils are made from fresh organic coconut kernels. They are cold-pressed, unrefined, and non-deodorized – meaning they are made without heat or harmful chemicals that can destroy its benefits.

Ziggy Marley Organics Coco’Mon is also: 

  • An excellent source of MCTs (medium chain triglycerides, which are healthy, vegetable-sourced saturated fats)
  • USDA organic
  • Trans fat free
  • Non-hydrogenated
  • Non-GMO
  • Kosher
  • Certified gluten-free

 

Time to Eat?!

Anytime – great recipes are available online for all mealtimes!
 

Mix it Up!

Pop popcorn in one of Ziggy Marley’s flavored coconut oils, for a fresh, new flavor and healthier twist on boring, buttered popcorn. 

The original (non-flavored) coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer for skin and hair!
