I had to make an early-morning run to the local health food store today and discovered a fantastic new line of products from a company called, “Coconut Secret,” online at www.coconutsecret.com. This is a very new company, but they are destined for big things!
They carry the traditional coconut products like the milk, cream, flakes and flour, but also have innovative products made from the pure sap of the coconut tree! Their sap products include coconut crystals (which are a natural, healthful form of sugar), coconut nectar (a syrup, along the lines of maple syrup…much better than agave nectar, which is a health sham in my opinion!), coconut vinegar (more nutritious than apple cider vinegar) and coconut aminos. This last product is just like Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, only way, way better! The liquid aminos have always been the one Bragg’s product that I dislike, as it contains cleverly-disguised MSG. (Bragg’s more or less admitted this by taking the words, “No MSG” off of the label…although they still don’t come right out and say that it’s in there.) The coconut amino product is 100% free of MSG or any undesirable additives…just coconut sap and mineral-rich sea salt!
Now I know…some people immediately freak out when they think of coconut products due to concerns about saturated fat and/or cholesterol. However, there is absolutely zero cholesterol in coconut, and saturated fat is actually very, very, very GOOD FOR YOU! Yes, let me say it again…saturated fat is good and healthy to have in your diet…even in large amounts! The bum rap given to saturated fat is because almost all scientific studies conducted on it DID NOT differentiate between saturated fat and trans-fats. All of the bad things you may have heard about saturated fats are truly to be laid at the feet of trans-fats, like hydrogenated oils.
The added bonus is that all of Coconut Secret’s products 100% organic, low-glycemic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan and chock full of nutrients!!! Coconut contains a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. All of the coconut sap products are raw and enzymatically-active. Also, Coconut Secret is the first company ever to sell coconut milk and cream in glass bottles!
Of course there is always a down side…their products are not cheap. However, you get what you pay for. If you are interested in getting a top-of-the-line product for your health and well-being, now you can!!!

Hi!
I would love to know where to purchase Coconut Secret products. I have contacted the company several times to no avail.
I am in the Phoenix area.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Cee Cee, I am sorry they have not gotten back to you yet…perhaps you can order some products from their website?
Thanks and peace,
