Why do North Indians hate coconut oil food and other coconut based products?
-
Though a series of food, snacks, etc taste good in coconut oil (which are healthy too) and cosmetic products made from coconut are proved to have real benefits, why many people of north India hate them?
-
Answer:
We don't hate foods cooked in coconut oil. I have tasted a few dishes and snacks cooked in coconut oil and I have a decent level of likedness towards it. A majority of north indians have truble adjusting with the taste of coconut oil and that doesn't amount to hatred. In north india, food is majorly cooked using mustard, sunflower or any other refined oil or even ghee at times. So we are adapted to the taste of the foods made in these oils so a change makes them uncomfortable. Also, coconut oil is majorly used as a hair oil by north indians so they are a bit uncomfy tasting it. The smell has a role to play here as well. As the oils that are majorly used in north india do not leave any smell after the food is cooked whereas the coconut oil retains its natural smell, it makes it difficult for north indians to eat it for the only reason of not being adapted to it.

Same reason a lot of them prefer tea over coffee. The food habits depend on what we are exposed to early in life. And most of us are pretty rigid about them later on. Yes, we may develop a taste for beer but that is an exception that proves the rule. Anyway, I am a north Indian and I do not hate coconut oil. And it is reasonably common to use it as hair oil even in North.
