Extra Virgin
Coconut Oil is among the healthiest, most versatile dietary oils in the
world. An excellent cooking oil with its natural coconut flavor and aroma,
we think it is simply the best tasting, most aromatic coconut oil on the
planet.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is a stable, healthy saturated fat that is
naturally free from trans-fatty acids. It contains medium-chain fatty acids,
such as lauric acid, which have a shorter chain length than most animal
derived long-chain saturated fatty acids. Newer research supports the theory
that saturated fats rich in medium-chain fatty acids, like those found in
extra virgin coconut oil, are beneficial. In fact, consumption of coconut
oil at recommended levels, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, helps
maintain already healthy levels of cholesterol.
Unlike refined coconut oils, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not hydrogenated,
bleached, refined or deodorized. It is produced using the same methods
farmers have used for centuries. Meat from only the freshest, organically
grown coconuts is shredded and cold-pressed to create coconut milk, and then
fermented to achieve a great taste and aroma. |
