Description

Virgin coconut oil is made from the fresh mature kernel of the coconut (cocos nucifera). Virgin coconut oil has a distinctive coconut oil taste and aroma. The oil is solid at room temperature, with a melting point of around 23-26’C. When solid, the oil has a white colour and when liquid, the oil has a water-like clarity.

Virgin coconut oil is a type of oil that is extracted from the meat of fresh coconuts without using any chemical processes or solvents. It is made by shredding and pressing the coconut meat to extract the oil, which is then separated and filtered to remove any impurities.

Virgin coconut oil is different from refined coconut oil, which is made from dried coconut meat that is often treated with chemicals and heat to extract the oil. Virgin coconut oil is considered to be a healthier option as it is less processed and retains more of the coconut’s natural nutrients and flavor.

Virgin coconut oil has a high smoke point, which makes it a great oil for cooking and baking. It is also commonly used as a natural moisturizer for the skin and hair due to its high content of medium-chain fatty acids and antioxidants.

Virgin coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a type of fatty acid that has been shown to have antimicrobial properties and may help improve cholesterol levels and brain function. It also contains other beneficial nutrients such as vitamin E and K, iron, and antioxidants.

It can be substituted for oil or butter in a 1:1 ratio in most recipes.
