by vivian

Some time ago I bought two large tubs one each of coconut oil and palm oil. I my recent move the lids with the names for these pails were removed. Now I can't tell which is which, any hints how I can figure it out?
Answer:
Coconut oil is harder and whiter than palm oil. Palm oil has a slight yellow tinge to it. Like butter. Coconut oil is as white as shortening.
