things people ask

• How much coconut oil goes into a typical bulletproof-style coffee?
  Most recipes land on one to two tablespoons per mug, so 14 to 28 g. One tablespoon blended into a 12 oz coffee gives a noticeably richer body without overwhelming the cup; two starts to read as oily on the surface unless you blend hard. Virgin oil pushes coconut flavor forward, refined keeps the coffee tasting like coffee with extra weight.
• Is a tablespoon of coconut oil enough to temper whole spices for a curry?
  For a small pan serving two, yes — 14 g is enough to bloom a teaspoon of mustard seeds, cumin, or curry leaves and coat the base before onions go in. For a family-size pot most South Indian and Sri Lankan recipes step up to two or three tablespoons (28 to 42 g) so the spices have room to pop and the fat carries flavor through the whole dish.
• Should I weigh tablespoons of coconut oil if it's solid in the jar?
  It helps. Scooping solid coconut oil with a tablespoon measure tends to pack uneven — sometimes you get 12 g, sometimes 17 g depending on how hard you press. If a recipe is sensitive to fat ratio, like a small-batch frosting or a single-serving mug cake, weighing each tablespoon at 14 g keeps the texture consistent. For sautéing, eyeballing is fine.
