Cold-Pressed Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
Organic Coconut Oil is cold-pressed from the white flesh of the coconut. It is one of the most versatile and healthy oils available and consists almost entirely of healthy medium-chain saturated fatty acids. Coconut Oil does not negatively affect blood cholesterol. The medium-chain saturated fat in coconut oil is used primarily as a source of energy which helps to increase metabolism. Coconut Oil consists of roughly 50% lauric acid which has documented anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-prozotoal properties.
Organic coconut oil in its natural, un-hydrogenated form is suitable for frying and cooking due to its stable nature. Its high saturated fat content means that the oil does not oxidise, and also limits the development of trans-fatty acids and free radicals in the oil. Traditional cooking oils such as refined sunflower, canola, and corn oil, are easily damaged when used for frying and create unnecessary exposure to free radicals and oxidised fat. Virgin coconut oil avoids all of these problems when used for cooking.
