(I edited out that which did't pertain to my questions)
How do you eat this while getting the full potential of it's benefits? As you said, heating it nullifies most of them, so I can't imagine you spend the extra money to use this to cook with... or does the "cold" process ensure a longer shelf life?
Since it's solid at most temperatures in which I'm comfortable, I can't think of how to utilize it short of eating it like peanut butter or the like.
