Olivio Coconut Spread

[wonderwoman]

I was wondering if anyone knew if this product qualifies as Paleo. I went Paleo 3 weeks ago and I love it. I saw this olivio spread and bought it and I've been cooking my veggies in it. This morning I fried sweet plantain with 2 eggs with it and it was so yummy.
The ingredients are:

organic tropical oil blend(coconut oil, extra virgin coconut oil, sustainable palm oil),filtered water, sea salt, organic canola lecithin, organic guar gum.

It's the first time I purchased it but I hope it won't be the last. Please say yes!

Thanks in advance

I don't know if it is paleo or not but if you like it, use it.

I've been on the Paleo Diet (and not an expert) for quite some time now and our technology makes a lot of foods, oils... out there more readily available. I make my own frying/roasting oil by using the oils by themselves or combining organic extra virgin Olive oil and Coconut oil. Acts just like butter and tastes soooooo good. I've now tweaked and added a few things on Paleo Diet since my goal weight is so near, but not enough to hurt the diet. Even Cathe eats a tweaked Paleo Diet.

There were no Canola lecithin or guar gum during that time and I don't know what they are for sure. Because of that I don't put anything in my body if I don't know what it is. Any Processed foods scare me. I'm leery of Canola oil.

My advice is to do in depth research pros and cons of these ingredients, not just one site and get a feel for it. If you still think it's OK, then do it.

Hope that helps,
