Is Coconut Oil (more like paste) the same as Cream Coconut?
I have a reciepe that calls for "Cream Coconut". I went to Wegmans last night and they had several types of Coconut Oil, which looked like a creamy paste. Anyone have any recommendations?

I purchased the cococut oil in the grocery section. The container had "for cooking use" on the side. My meal was probably healthier with/out the coconut paste, and still tasted pretty good.
Thanks for all the answers!
Answers:
Coconut oil is different from cream coconut. Oil is available both as liquid form or as cream. Liquid form can be used to apply on hair (as used in India) or can be used as cooking base. Oil available as cream can be used as only hair cosmetic.
Whereas Cream coconut is thick coconut milk which is extracted by running coconut with water in a grinder or mixer.
