I FINALLY got a dehydrator to go with my Omega 8004 and was able to make the oil JUST like you do in this video. Can't thank you enough John for all your information.
This is real coconut oil, made at LOW temperatures with no chemicals. Coconut oil in the store may use added heat (high temperatures) and or chemicals (hexane) to extract the oils. Very simply, with this machine you can make your own high quality, raw coconut oil. It tastes better than ANY I have ever tasted from the store. It can be used just as the ones you would purchase in the store. I use mine mostly for body care.
This is the way I do it. Some people just juice the fresh meat, and let the oil settle to the top and scoop it off. I prefer my method as I also get the coconut butter that im looking for.
I just made milk from a brown coconut I put meat in blender some cinnamon and apple some distilled water and blender then twice though seine. It is very good.
I own several different juicers. just like a hammer drill or a right angle drill, or a cordless drill, each juicer is "best" for its specific purpose. If you have the money (and space in your kitchen), in my opinion its best to have the right tool for the job, which is what my grandfather told me.
I prefer to use coconut butter instead of nut butters, I often use the creme and butters in recipes - soup recipes for the "fat" for "dressings" instead of nuts. On the oil, I rarely eat the coconut oil.. But I do use it most everyday on my body and hair.. I use it as a "gel' to keep my hair in place, but dont put too much or your hair will look oily.
a cup of fresh grated coconut in the morning with cereal is an excellent food supplement.high in fibre,economical ,great for irritated bowels,constipation,improves immunity and nourishing.but must b fresh,white n smelling nice.
I have not done this in the champion. The grating part would work, but I do not believe the champion has enough of a pressing action to effectively make the oil.
Yes, I have done that before, but you get a difference consistancy, and it can be a pain, because the coconut will stick to the sides of the food processor, and you will constantly have to stop and scrape down the sides, plus I find that the food processor will leave small "chunks" in there, so it will not be a "smooth" butter. I like to choose the kitchen appliance that will best do the task at hand..
Coconut oil helps the liver produce hormones for the thyroid gland! I am hypothyroid and when I consume coconut oil, I have to reduce my thyroid medicine. The medium chained fatty acids give the body energy as it helps the thyroid gland boost its hormones.
Excellent Video as usual John. I made some oil in my 8004 and it is great. Better than store bought in my opinion simply because I made it and know exactly what went into it. I used larger bowl as opposed to a measuring cup and it was easier to skim off the oil, again in my opinion. I just to get a de-meating tool but no one seems to have any in stock.Thanks again for the videos!! Maybe you can share some of the uses for oil, cream and butter?
Hola , me puedes decir que tienes en el bote de cristal? es coco rallado y deshidratado? gracias, soy española, me encanto tu video pero me pierdo tus explicaciones, saludos
Each juicer does certain tasks. Some juicers do them better than others. I find the Omega 8004 works best for these tasks. That being said, I have made coconut creme (using fresh coconuts) in the green star, and it works great. I have not tried putting the dried coconut thru the green star, and dont know how it would work.
The whole jar of coconut is NOT from one coconut. How much money did I save? I didnt directly calculate it. I can say that for the COCONUT BUTTER it EASILY saves you at least 50% The jar of coconut butter I made in the video is the same amount as the 8oz jar shown earlier in the video that costs $7.49. I estimate it to use about 2-3 coconuts, which cost me about $2-$3. On the oil, the yield is not as much per coconut, so the savings would not be as significant, but besides $ think quality
Surprised no one has commented about the counter space one would need for all the gadgets of modern day. How did they manage bitd, & some still do, before now ...
You can use the flakes in recipes. or you can freeze the flakes and use them later. Personally I would make coconut milk from the fresh coconut and just drink it, before I froze the flakes. Dogs usually really like to eat the coconut meat.

How does this coconut oil differ from the jars of organic coconut oil we find in the stores? (Aside from the cost) Is this the same product that can be used in the same way? We use so much coconut oil in our home, and if this is the same end result, I think the cost of this machine would pay for itself quickly.
you can do the fresh coconut to make the creme in the samson. When I tried to process dried coconut in the samson, I had horrible results, so I can not recommend doing it at this time.
I do not recommend the VRT for nut butters and creams and especially oils. Its NOT made for that purpose. Yes, the 8004 8006 ARE better than the vrts for leafy greens. Yes pulp can be run thru again, but it may clog up the VRT but it does work well when re-juicing pulp on the 8004 and 8006. each juicer has their own pros and cons.
@rawfoods I have heard you say before each juicer does certain tasks. Right now I own an Omega centrifugal juicer but have been looking at the Green Star. Having said that, is it a bad thing to own two or three different types of juicers. For example a centrifugal, Green Star, Omega 8004 or an Omega VRT, etc. Would it be like own three different types of drills, each doing its own thing?

I use my 8004 to make coconut cream all the time and I put that in my raw smoothies. I've learn soooo much from you John

John, just want you to know how much I really enjoy watching your videos. You are very encouraging to me!

I adore the recipe
I store it out of the fridge.. You can store it in the fridge if you want. It is usually long gone before it expires in my home.

I am living in Ireland and I do not have access to coconuts.Sad:(
Can you make coconut creme, butter and oil in the Greenstar Elite?

do you have to dehydrate to make the oil?

It would work, you would get a coconut cream, not an oil, due to the added water content. Its delicious to eat too!
how would the wells press work to get coconut oil once the coconut has been initially mashed?
you can do the fresh coconut to make the creme in the samson. When I tried to process dried coconut in the samson, I had horrible results, so I can not recommend doing it at this time.
wouldnt it be easier / quicker to do coconut butter in a food processor?
@ThorMaxx I tried it in my food processor and nearly burned it up. I won't do that to my processor again.

I dont know. I havent tried. It might not have enough pressure.
I’m sorry you weren’t here with the rest of the vegan world for this great for foray, even toast. Next time hope to see you there!
Billy Mays' got nothing on this guy :D
mine all tastes like soap
