Short Description
Versatile oil made from certified organic coconuts.
What is coconut oil?
Coconut oil is natural substance obtained from fresh coconuts. It’s versatile and can be used as a butter substitute, baking ingredient or as a high-heat cooking oil. It’s also popular for skin/body/hair purposes.
Extra virgin coconut oil is extracted using a process that retains more biologically active components from the coconut fruit, like polyphenols.
How does coconut oil support health?
-
Approximately 60 percent of coconut oil is comprised of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), but, unlike other triglycerides (which mainly contain long chain fatty acids), MCTs may be beneficial to human health.*
