Product Description:

Since the 1960s, coconut oil has been mistakenly described as unhealthy. The media reported on studies finding that tropical coconut oils were laden with artery-clogging fats. What went unreported was the fact that the coconut oil used in the studies was hydrogenated—not the virgin oil used for centuries as a staple food.

Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, a rare medium-chain fatty acid found in mother's milk that supports healthy metabolism and is now being studied for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial health-protecting properties. Overall, coconut oil contains 92% saturated fats, and only 1% Omega-6, the fat Americans get way too much of.

Recommended Use:

Ideal as a high-heat cooking oil (up to 350 degrees), a healthy substitute for shortening in baking, a "better-than-butter" replacement in bread, vegetables, or popcorn, and as a luscious body oil.

Notes:

Nutiva's Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and melts at 76°F. No refrigeration required.

Ingredients:

100% raw organic extra-virgin coconut oil.
